Belgrade Conference

The Belgrade Conference, held in 1961 in Yugoslavia, was a significant gathering aimed at fostering cooperation among countries that did not want to align with either the Western or Eastern blocs during the Cold War. It brought together leaders from newly independent nations, promoting principles of neutrality and non-alignment. The conference sought to strengthen solidarity among countries advocating for independence and economic development, emphasizing peace and mutual respect. This event laid the foundation for the Non-Aligned Movement, a coalition that continues to influence international relations today.
