		As the Colombo conference in May 1954 had already taken a decision to hold a conference of Asian and African countries, Nehru wasted no time in confronting the aggressive stance of the United States by inviting the Indonesian prime minister to Delhi to discuss preparations for the proposed conference.
		While the Bandung conference appeared to provide an opportunity to build solidarity of Asian and African countries, in reality that did not happen due to the acute struggle between the non-aligned countries and those countries that were under the tutelage and stranglehold of the imperialist powers.
		The failure of the Bandung conference to launch a permanent Asian-African countries organisation was a sign that it was the writ of the imperialist powers that ultimately prevailed, although Nehru did make a valiant attempt later to revive it in the form of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in 1961.

		Third, Bandung in 2005 will again be celebrated as the "rise of the decolonized world." China's Hu will call for greater unity in the South to face the North as an equal partner.

		The Afro-Asian Conference held in Bandung, Indonesia from April 18 to 24, 1955 was an international meeting, the convocation of which was initiated by Asian and African countries themselves for the first time in history to discuss major issues related to various Asian and African countries.
