After the Second World War, two countries began to show their supremacy. These two countries were the USA and USSR.
They included many countries to their sides by forming several alliances. On the other hand, the African and Asian countries which had achieved independence, did not side with either America or Soviet Russia.
They were brought together with the ideology of Non-alignment with the super powers. These countries were famous later on as ‘Non-aligned Countries’. The chief architect of the Non-aligned Movement was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Ahmed Sukarno, the President of Indonesia, Gamal Abdel Nasser, the President of Egypt and Marshall Tito, the President of Yugoslavia, Kwame Nkumah, the President of Ghana were also the leading personalities who championed the cause of Non-aligned Movement (NAM). Primary Steps were taken for Non-aligned Movement in 18 April 1955. A Conference was held at Bandung, the capital of Indonesia in which 29 countries from Asia and 6 from Africa participated. This conference not only united Asian and African countries but also strictly opposed Colonialism.
The former Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s Principles of ‘Panchaseel’ (Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and Sovereignty, Non-aggression, Non-intervention in each other’s domestic affairs, Mutual benefit and equally and Peaceful co-existence) were adopted by this Conference.
This Conference took resolution to fight against apartheid to establish friendship with all member countries, to solve the intentional problems in a peaceful way, to respect other’s territorial sovereignty, to give respect to the law and ideas of the UNO etc. The Afro-Assian countries were inspired. Hon'ble Vice President Shri M. Hamid Ansari will lead the Indian delegation at the17th Summit of the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) to be held at Margarita Island in Venezuela.The Summit on 17-18 September will be preceded by deliberations at the Ministerial and Senior Official levels.
