President John Dramani Mahama arrived in Belgrade, Serbia, to participate in the 65th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit, commemorating the movement's founding in 1961. The summit's theme is "The Legacy of Non-Alignment: Lessons for Today's World," aiming to emphasize the movement's core principles such as sovereign equality, territorial integrity, non-interference in internal affairs, and increased economic cooperation among developing countries.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić is hosting the event, which has seen over 30 countries from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America attending. The Non-Aligned Movement, with 120 member states, is the largest international grouping outside the United Nations. Established during the Cold War, it provided developing nations an independent diplomatic route, allowing them to steer clear of aligning with either the Western capitalist or Soviet socialist blocs.
Ghana's inaugural president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, along with Yugoslavia's President Josip Broz Tito, India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Indonesia's President Sukarno, were instrumental in shaping the NAM's vision.
