COMMUNICATING with Foriegn Countries
On April 18, 1955 twenty nine African and Asian countries met in Bandung, Indonesa to pledge political, economic, and cultural cooperation in order to strengthen their nations. The Bandung Conference was very crucial at this time as most of the countries involved were newly independent and this meeting would set the foundation for their future foriegn relations. The twenty-nine countries that participated in the Bandung Conference represented a total of 1.5 billion people. During this time that was more than half of the world's population. This forum was also important as it provided these representatives an opportunity to address the needs of their nations which mostly shared an anti-colonial mentality.
