Answer
The correct alignment pairs the I2U2 Group with joint economic investments in water, energy, transportation, space, health, and food security; the Colombo Security Conclave with regional maritime safety and security in the Indian Ocean; the Mekong-Ganga Cooperation with culture, tourism, and education across the Mekong basin; and the Forum for India-Pacific Islands Cooperation with developmental partnership and climate resilience for Pacific Island nations.
The matching correctly links each multilateral forum to its official objective: I2U2 focuses on six sectors (water, energy, transportation, space, health, food security); the Colombo Security Conclave addresses maritime safety and security in the Indian Ocean; Mekong-Ganga Cooperation addresses socio-cultural and economic linkage across sub-Mekong nations; and FIPIC addresses developmental cooperation with Pacific Island nations.
