Bandung Conference

On April 18th, 1955, in the Indonesian city of Bandung, representatives from twenty-nine African and Asian nations met for the first time. The Bandung Conference's aim was to promote economic and cultural cooperation and to oppose colonialism and discrimination.

The conference ultimately led to the establishment of the Non-Aligned Movement in 1961. In later years, however, proxy wars between the non-aligned nations eroded the solidarity expressed at Bandung.
