Explanation

The 5th BIMSTEC Summit was held on March 30, 2022, in a virtual/hybrid format. Prime Minister Narendra Modi participated and addressed the summit virtually, emphasizing regional security and connectivity. Thus, Statement 1 is correct.

Statement 2 is incorrect because the 5th Summit was hosted and chaired by Sri Lanka, which held the chairmanship from 2018 to 2022. At the end of the summit, the chairmanship was handed over to Thailand. A landmark achievement of this summit was the signing of the BIMSTEC Charter, providing the grouping with a formal legal identity. The theme of the summit was "Towards a Resilient Region, Prosperous Economies, Healthy People". India also announced a contribution of 1 million USD to the BIMSTEC Secretariat's operational budget during this event.
