		It was known that the Bandung Conference paid due attention to the problems of the dependent peoples and colonialism; the Bandung declaration recognized colonialism as an evil and it demanded that all dependent people be granted freedom and independence.
		The Bandung declaration, which comprised the Panchaseela principles-the five principles for the promotion of peace in the world, represented a new charter in international relations, the impact of which became a vital factor in the consolidation of peace.
		The Bandung spirit, the core principles of which are solidarity, friendship and cooperation, continue to be relevant and effective foundation for resolving global issues of common concern and fostering better relations among nations.

	Asian-African summit opens in Indonesia
		Unlike their founding fathers who initiated the conference in Bandung, 100 km from Jakarta, in 1955 to take a stand against colonialism, the current leaders will trade ideas and initiatives to address myriad problems facing two-thirds of the world's population living in the two continents, ranging from poverty to poor medical care.
		If the Bandung spirit is adapted in our hearts and we make the partnership work, 'the story of Asia-Africa in the 21st century can be very different from its 20th century past', he told the opening session.
		The PM said the declaration would emphasise the need to promote practical cooperation between the two continents in areas such as trade, industry, investment, finance, tourism, information and communication technology, energy, health, transportation, agriculture, water resources and fisheries.

		The Declaration is considered to be the first international political instrument that has comprehensively, profoundly and systematically spelt out the idea of promotion and protection of inviolable fundamental human rights and freedoms without any discrimination as to sex, age, race, religion, color, language, social status.

		At the same time, it is also noticed that in order to achieve all the objectives set forth in the present Declaration, peoples allover the world must further their ever strong efforts and closely cooperate, particularly in the eradication of destitude and poverty, which still seriously impede the promotion and protection of human rights.

		Although Bandung provided Asian and African countries with a forum for self-expression and made them more aware of their own emergence, the ten-point Bandung Declaration was careful to recognise the position of the United Nation.
		Despite that, Bandung 1955 was without doubt a historic watershed in contemporary international relations, especially for what subsequently came to be referred to as the Third World.
		NAM, Bandung 1955 will always be remembered here for marking the initiation of top-level contacts between Nepal and the “new” or post-1949 China, as well as with the leadership of a host of newly emergent states of Asia and Africa.
