Bandung Spirit

The Bandung Spirit refers to the principles of equality, cooperation, and unity among nations, especially in Asia and Africa, promoting mutual respect and independence. It originated from the 1955 Bandung Conference in Indonesia, where leaders of newly independent countries emphasized collaboration beyond their colonial histories, opposing neo-colonialism and advocating for peaceful coexistence. This spirit encourages solidarity among diverse nations, valuing sovereignty and cultural identity while fostering diplomatic and economic partnerships, aiming for global stability and progress through mutual understanding rather than domination.
