President of the House of Representatives (HoR) Ageela Salah has met with Indonesian Vice President . . .[restrict]Mohamed Yusef Kalla in Jakarta to discuss the potential for cooperation between the two countries in the fields of economics, politics and culture.
Salah traveled to the Indonesian capital to take part in activities surrounding the 60th anniversary of the Bandung Conference of 1955, a meeting of 25 Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent. The stated aims of the conference were to promote African-Asian economic and cultural cooperation and to oppose colonialism or neocolonialism. The Kingdom of Libya was represented at the first meeting in 1955.
Delegates from nearly 90 countries today commemorated the anniversary by marching together from the Hotel Savoy to the Gedung Merdeka, or Building of Independence, where the first conference was held in 1955. [/restrict]
