Non-Alignment Policy

The Non-Alignment Policy is a stance taken by certain countries during the Cold War, where they chose not to align themselves with either of the two main military and political blocs: NATO led by the United States or the Communist Bloc led by the Soviet Union. This policy aimed to maintain independence, avoid being dragged into conflicts, and promote peaceful coexistence. Countries following this approach sought to pursue their national interests without becoming part of larger Cold War rivalries, fostering a position of neutrality and emphasizing diplomacy and cooperation over military alliances.
