Read the passage and answer the question that follows: The first summit of NAM was attended by 25 member states. Over the years, the membership of NAM has expanded. The latest meeting, the 14th summit, was held in Havana in 2006. It included 116 member states and 15 observer countries. As non-alignment grew into a popular international movement, countries of various different political systems and interests joined it. This made the movement less homogeneous and also made it more difficult to define in very neat and precise terms. Non-alignment is also not neutrality. Neutrality refers principally to a policy of staying out of war. States practising neutrality are not required to help end a war. They do not get involved in wars and do not take any position on the appropriateness or morality of war. |
Which of the leader was co-founder of NAM and also president of Yugoslavia? |
Josip Broz Tito Gamal Abdel Nasser Sukarno Kwame Nkrumah |
Josip Broz Tito |
The roots of NAM went back to the friendship between three leaders — Yugoslavia’s president Josip Broz Tito, India’s Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and Egypt’s leader Gamal Abdel Nasser — who held a meeting in 1956. Indonesia’s Sukarno and Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah strongly supported them. These five leaders came to be known as the five founders of NAM. The first non-aligned summit was held in Belgrade in 1961. |
