African-Asian Summit: after 50
years, still working for a new cooperation
On the 22nd and 23rd of April will be held
the African-Asian Summit in Indonesia. It will mark the 50th anniversary
of the historical meeting in Bandung in 1955, which spearheaded the
Non-Aligned Movement. This historical meeting was to lead to independence
for many of the participating countries, and it brought up promises
of co-operation between the two continents; after 50 years of failed
promises, the next meeting could be an opportunity to revive the relationship
and strengthen the ties. The New Asian-African Strategic Partnership
is a vehicle to enable the countries of Asia and Africa to cooperate
for their mutual benefit and is intended to promote peace, prosperity
and progress in the two regions.
Such an evolution would not only represent an economic opportunity,
but also a cultural one. It could help bring Africans and Asians closer
to each other, as Africans often have an anachronistic view of Asia
(dating up to the 1980s) and Asians share worldwide stereotypes about
Africa. This renewed co-operation could also have positive repercussions
on the diplomatic scene, creating a common alternative to the usual
actors and giving a voice to countries missing from this scene, thus
achieving the original goal of the Non-Aligned Movement.
