BANDUNG CONFERENCE the first meeting of the newly independent states of Africa and Asia was a clarion call for the independence of the subjugated people. The conference was held in Bandung, Central Java, Indonesia in April 18-24, 1955 and convened upon the invitation of the Prime Ministers of Burma(now Myanmar), Ceylon(now Sri Lanka), India, Indonesia and Pakistan and was attended by 24 other countries of Africa and Asia.
The first large-scale Asian–African or Afro–Asian Conference—also known as the Bandung Conference—was a meeting of Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent, which took place on April 18–24, 1955 in Bandung, Indonesia. The twenty-nine countries that participated at the Bandung Conference represented nearly one-fourth of the Earth's land surface and a total population of 1.5 billion people.[1] The conference was organised by Indonesia, Burma, Pakistan, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and India and was coordinated by Ruslan Abdulgani, secretary general of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The conference's stated aims were to promote Afro-Asian economic and cultural cooperation and to oppose colonialism or neocolonialism by either the United States or the Soviet Union in the Cold War, or any other imperialistic nations. The conference was an important step toward the crystallisation of the Non-Aligned Movement.
