With reference to "Look East Policy" of India, consider the following statements 1. India wants to establish itself as an important regional player in the East Asian affairs. 2. India wants to plug the vacuum created by the termination of Cold War. 3. India wants to restore the historical and cultural ties with its neighbours in Southeast and East Asia. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is correct: A key objective of India's Look East Policy, launched in the early 1990s, was indeed to increase its political, economic, and strategic engagement with Southeast Asian and East Asian countries, thereby aiming to establish itself as an important regional player in East Asian affairs. 2. Statement 2 is less accurate: While the termination of the Cold War provided the geopolitical context for the policy's launch, the main aim was more about proactively seeking economic opportunities and new partnerships in the region rather than specifically aiming to plug the vacuum left by the receding superpowers. 3. Statement 3 is correct: The policy explicitly aimed to revitalize and restore historical and cultural ties, leveraging centuries-old connections through trade, religion (Buddhism, Hinduism), and culture to build stronger contemporary relationships with its neighbours in Southeast and East Asia. Thus, statements 1 and 3 accurately reflect the goals of the Look East Policy.
