The Afro-Asian conference held in the Indonesian city of Bandung in 1955, commonly known as the Bandung Conference, marked the zenith of India’s engagement with the newly independent Asian and African nations. The Bandung Conference later led to the establishment of the NAM. The First Summit of the NAM was held in Belgrade in September 1961. Nehru was a co-founder of the Non Alignment Movement.

The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, accompanied the Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai during an official visit to India in 1956. During this visit, the Dalai Lama highlighted the deteriorating situation in Tibet to Prime Minister Nehru. In 1958, an armed uprising against Chinese occupation erupted in Tibet, which was subsequently suppressed by Chinese forces. As conditions worsened, in 1959, the Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, sought and received political asylum in India, causing China to accuse India of harboring anti-China activities.

The Shimla agreement that was signed on 3 July 1972 between India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Pakistan's President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

In January 1966, Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and Pakistan’s General Ayub Khan formalized an agreement known as the Tashkent Agreement, following the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, which had been facilitated by the Soviet Union. The agreement aimed to restore peace and normalize relations between the two countries after the conflict.
