Fond memories of historic Bandung Conference brought to light
The Island
|July 01, 2025
Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Minister Vijitha Herath on Saturday emphasised the need for Indonesia and Sri Lanka to further consolidate the strong bonds that the two nations have maintained over the years, particularly the economic and cultural ties and bilateral tourism.
Minister Herath was the Chief Guest at the annual Indonesian festival and Bazaar organised by Indonesian Embassy in Sri Lanka and the Sri Lanka-Indonesia Friendship Association, and the photographic exhibition titled '70 Years of the Asian-African Conference' 'Reviving the Bandung Spirit' which was inaugurated by the Minister.
'The historic Afro-Asian Conference in Bandung in 1955 gave birth to the Non-Aligned Movement of which Sri Lanka and Indonesia are founding members." Herath said.
He noted that at the Colombo Powers Conference held in Kandy in 1954 Sri Lanka and Indonesia were among the countries that proposed a global conference of newly decolonised nations that led to the historic gathering in Bandung.
