Explanation:

The first statement is incorrect. China is not a member of the Arctic Council; it holds the status of an observer. The Arctic Council's members are Arctic states only. China's initiative on the Polar Silk Road does not grant it membership in the Arctic Council.

The second statement is correct. The Arctic Council is an intergovernmental forum established by the Ottawa Declaration of 1996. It focuses on issues faced by the Arctic governments and the indigenous people of the Arctic.

The third statement is incorrect. One of the major objectives of the Arctic Council is not military security. The Council primarily addresses issues related to sustainable development and environmental protection in the Arctic. It explicitly excludes military security from its purview.

Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
