The correct answer is Option 2: 1 and 3 only.

1. NAM Summit: Havana

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit in 2006 was indeed held in Havana, Cuba. The NAM is a forum of 120 developing countries that are not aligned with any major power bloc. The 14th NAM Summit took place from September 11 to September 16, 2006, in Havana. It brought together leaders from member countries to discuss issues of common interest and promote cooperation.

2. APEC Meeting: Bangkok

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Meeting in 2006 was not held in Bangkok. The APEC is a regional economic forum that aims to facilitate economic growth, cooperation, trade, and investment in the Asia-Pacific region. The 2006 APEC Meeting was hosted by Vietnam in the capital city of Hanoi, not Bangkok. Therefore, Option 2 and Option 4 are incorrect.

3. EU-India Summit: Helsinki

The EU-India Summit in 2006 was correctly held in Helsinki, Finland. The EU-India Summit is a high-level meeting between the European Union (EU) and India to discuss bilateral relations, cooperation, and various global issues. The 2006 EU-India Summit took place on October 13, 2006, in Helsinki. Leaders from both sides discussed topics such as trade, investment, energy, and climate change.

4. UN Climate Change Conference: Geneva

The UN Climate Change Conference in 2006 was not held in Geneva. The Conference of the Parties (COP) is an annual meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to discuss and negotiate global efforts to combat climate change. The 2006 UN Climate Change Conference, also known as COP 12, was held in Nairobi, Kenya, not Geneva. Therefore, Option 4 is incorrect.

In summary, based on the information provided, Option 2: 1 and 3 only is the correct answer. The NAM Summit was held in Havana, and the EU-India Summit took place in Helsinki in the year 2006.
