if only argument I is strong

if only argument II is strong

if either I or II is strong

if neither I nor II is strong

if both I and II are strong.

A peace – loving nation like India can well join an international forum which seeks to bring different nations on friendly terms with each other. So, argument I holds strong. Argument II highlights a different aspect. The internal problems of a nation should not debar it from strengthening international ties. So, argument II is vague.
