On April 18 at 13:00 Moscow time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host an expert discussion titled “70 Years On: The Legacy of Bandung”.
Seventy years ago, on April 18, 1955, the Bandung Conference was held in Indonesia. It became a key event in world politics, when the newly independent states of Asia and Africa were able to openly declare their interests and priorities, formulate the values and principles of their approach to international affairs, and reflect upon the fight against colonialism and neocolonialism. What is the significance of the Bandung Conference in the modern world? Which of its results are important for Russia and the countries of the Global South? Is Bandung 2.0 possible? The participants of the discussion will try to answer these and other questions.
