"This year is also significant for the Non-Aligned Movement, as we mark the 65th anniversary of the adoption of the Bandung Declaration, which embodies the basic principles of the Movement. Since its adoption, the Bandung Principles have guided states committed to them during the Cold War. The absence of the two opposing blocs after the Cold War did not diminish the importance and strength of the Bandung Principles. On the contrary, against the backdrop of complex challenges to peace and development, they are more important today than ever before. Both anniversaries will allow us to review the progress we have made in achieving the key goals set out in the UN Charter and the Bandung Declaration, and to reflect on how we will respond to the continuing multifaceted challenges of UN member states by mobilizing our forces." , - said the head of state.
