Nepal's 1955 Bandung Conference: A Small Kingdom's Global Debut
In April 1955, delegates from 29 newly independent Asian and African nations gathered in Bandung, Indonesia, to chart a post-colonial future. Among them were two men from Nepal: Foreign Minister Dilli Raman Regmi and Rishikesh Shaha. This episode follows their journey to the conference, the delicate diplomatic dance they performed between India and China, and how a tiny Himalayan kingdom used the Non-Aligned Movement to carve out a sovereign identity. We examine the Bandung communiqué's ten principles, Nepal's attempt to balance relations with its two giant neighbors, and the quiet impact of that conference on Nepal's later foreign policy. Along the way, we meet figures like Jawaharlal Nehru, Zhou Enlai, and Nepal's King Mahendra, and consider how the spirit of Bandung — anti-colonial, proudly Asian — resonated in the shadow of the Himalayas.
