The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was founded by key leaders representing countries that sought to remain independent of the major Cold War power blocs. The formative phase and initial core leadership are commonly associated with Jawaharlal Nehru (India), Gamal Abdel Nasser (Egypt), Josip Broz Tito (Yugoslavia), Sukarno (Indonesia), and Kwame Nkrumah (Ghana). Fidel Castro of Cuba became a significant figure in NAM later, particularly from the late 1970s onwards, but was not part of the core group that established the movement in its initial stages (Bandung Conference 1955, Belgrade Conference 1961).

– The founders and core leaders of NAM in its formative phase included Nehru, Nasser, Tito, Sukarno, and Nkrumah.
– Fidel Castro played a prominent role in NAM during later periods, such as hosting the 1979 summit.

The Non-Aligned Movement emerged during the Cold War as a forum for states not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. Its goal was to uphold principles like national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations, and to promote international cooperation.
