Explanation:

During the Shimla Agreement in 1972, Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, and Zulfikar Bhutto, the then President of Pakistan, agreed to maintain the sanctity of the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. The agreement aimed to establish peaceful bilateral relations and resolve disputes through peaceful means. So, statement 1 is correct.

The Lahore Summit took place in February 1999, not 1997. It was held between Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the then Prime Minister of India, and Nawaz Sharif, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan. The summit aimed to address various bilateral issues and build trust between the two countries. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.

The Islamabad Summit was not held between Rajiv Gandhi and Nawaz Sharif. The Islamabad Summit took place in 1988 between Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, and Benazir Bhutto, the then Prime Minister of Pakistan. The summit focused on improving bilateral relations and addressing issues of mutual concern. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect.

Thus, the correct statement is:
