1 and 4
The official outcome list for Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s India visit of January 12–13, 2026 shows: the Ayurveda MoU was between All India Institute of Ayurveda and Charite University, Germany, not the University of Hamburg, so statement 1 is not correct. The Youth Hockey Development MoU was signed, so statement 2 is correct. A bilateral dialogue mechanism on the Indo-Pacific was announced, so statement 3 is correct. The Honorary Consul opening was in Ahmedabad, not Lucknow, so statement 4 is not correct. Therefore, the incorrect statements are 1 and 4.
