Abstract
Before the principles of peaceful coexistence were discussed at Bandung they figured at the conferences of Colombo and Bogor. At the invitation of the Prime Minister of Ceylon, Sir John Kotelawala, his colleagues from Burma, India, Indonesia and Pakistan joined him at Colombo during the last week of April, 1954. In his autobiography Sir John wrote that originally he did not intend to include Indonesia but was persuaded by the argument that its cultural and political background was similar to that of the four former British colonies.1 It happened to be the Indonesian Prime Minister, Ali Sastroamidjojo, who put forward the idea of holding a conference of Asian and African nations, which later was embodied in one of the conclusions, requesting the Indonesian representative to explore the possibilities of such a meeting.2

“The nations assembled at the A.A. conference declare that their relations between themselves, and their approach to the other nations of the world, shall be governed by complete respect for the national sovereignty and integrity of other nations. They will not intervene or interfere in the territory or the internal affairs of each other or of other nations, and will totally refrain from acts or threats of aggression. They recognise the equality of races and of nations, large and small. They will be governed by the desire to promote mutual interest and cooperation, by respect for the fundamental Human Rights and the principles of the Charter of the U.N.”
