PHNOM PENH, April 20 (Xinhua) -- The spirit of the
1955 Asian- African Conference, also known as the Bandung Conference,
remains relevant and has played a positive role in building a more
equitable and rational international political and economic order, said
Cambodian deputy prime minister and foreign minister Hor Namhong.
In a written interview with Xinhua ahead of the 60th anniversary of
the Bandung Conference on April 24 in Bandung, Indonesia, Hor Namhong
said the Bandung Principles, which incorporated the Five Principles of
Peaceful Coexistence, were adopted at the 1955 Asian-African Conference
and subsequently endorsed at the 1961 Non-Aligned Movement Summit, of
which late Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk was one of the founders.
"Although the Bandung Principles were established in the Cold War
era, I am of the view that it remains as relevant as ever with its
growing significance and roles in today's critical juncture," Hor
Namhong said.
"The evolution of international relations in the past six decades
proves that the Bandung Spirit has not only become open and inclusive
principles of international law, but embodies the values of sovereignty,
justice, democracy and rule of law."
