Explanation
Both details about the launch of the International Solar Alliance are wrong.
The alliance was launched alongside the 2015 Paris climate conference, not the later COP24.
Statement 1 therefore names the wrong occasion.
It was launched by the Indian Prime Minister with the French President of that time, who was Francois Hollande and not Emmanuel Macron.
Statement 2 therefore names the wrong French leader.
Macron later co-hosted the alliance's founding conference in New Delhi in 2018.
