President Soekarno had to his credit
the holding of the Asian-African Conference in Bandung, West Java,
from April 18 to 24, 1955. The initiative was taken by Indonesia,
India, Pakistan, Myanmar and Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The conference was
attended by delegates from 24 Asian and African countries. The
purpose of the meeting was to promote closer and amiable cooperation
in the economic, cultural and political fields. The resolution
adopted became known as the "Dasa Sila", or "The Ten
Principles," of Bandung. It strived for world peace, respect
for one another's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and for
non-interference in each other's internal affairs. The resolution
also sought to uphold the human rights principles of the United
Nations.
The Asian-African Conference became
the embryo of the Non-Aligned Movement. The seeds that sprouted in
Bandung took firm root six years later when 25 newly independent
countries formally founded the Non-Aligned Movement at the Belgrade
Summit of 1961. Since then the membership of the Movement has grown
to its present strength of 112 member countries.
