Vision of Bandung After 50 Years-Facing New Challenges (The Bandung of the fifties as reflected in the mirror of the new age)
The Bandung of the fifties as reflected in the mirror of the new age
Today, after fifty years of great changes, we remember the historic Bandung Conference.
Despite the nostalgia of the memory, both the remembrance and the nostalgia are certainly not aimed at bringing back to life this great event, for this would be outside of and against the march of history. Yet the spirit of Bandung is what makes us remember the event today with interest, exactly as we remember the spirit of the socialist October revolution that took place almost ninety years ago, also as a great historic event, which left its mark on an entire century.

Vision of Bandung After 50 Years Facing New Challenges
Fifty years ago, the representatives of 19 African and Asian countries gathered in Bandung to declare their denunciation of colonialism, adopt the principles of peaceful existence and expand the peace front in the struggle against colonialism. This Afro-Asian conference was held from 8 to 24 April 1955 upon the initiative and invitation of Indonesia, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), India, Pakistan and Burma (Menimar). Most of the African and Asian countries that attended the meeting were still struggling to gain independence, especially the African countries. However, they aspired to create an organization capable of stand between the two fighting giants- the USA and USSR. This gave rise to the role of Bandung Conference during the Cold War.
