Bandung Conference
1955 meeting of Asian and African states in Indonesia that established the Non-Aligned Movement, attended by Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and shaping Cold War diplomacy.
The Bandung Conference was a meeting of Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent, held in Bandung, Indonesia, in April 1955. Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser attended this conference and received a promise from Chou En-lai, the Chinese premier, for as many arms as Egypt could afford. This marked a significant step in Nasser's efforts to secure military aid from the Communist world.1
