In the period of the struggle for national sovereignty the Indian National Congress took on the task of working out the foreign policy principles of a future sovereign India, including the formation of an international organization of colonial and dependent countries of Asia and Africa. A desire for such a information was reflected in the political works and statements of the chief leaders of the Congress - Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. In the process of determining the participants of the first Asian conference in Delhi in April 1947 it was decided that "all Asian countries" could take part in it and also Egypt. Observers, too, were invited, including Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, the USA and the USSR. The inter-Asian conference was taking place in the conditions of a complicated situation both in India and in the world. The participants of the conference had a number of sharp contradictions, however, Jawaharlal Nehru and his colleagues were firmly against discussing the questions of policy, defense, territorial belonging in Delhi. The First inter-Asian conference in Delhi had become the prototype and predecessor of the conferences in Bandung in 1955 and in Belgrade, which had established the Non-Aligned Movement of the states of Asia, Africa and Latin America in 1962.
