Bandung Conference (17 Apr. 1955) The first international conference of independent Asian and African countries held in the Indonesian city of Bandung, which called for the neutrality of the lesser developed countries in the current
Cold War, in the interest of world peace. It inaugurated the
non-alignment movement, whose principal tenets were non-aggression, respect for sovereignty, non-interference in other countries' internal affairs, equality, and peaceful coexistence.
