The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was a significant international political movement during the Cold War era. It emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the bipolar world order dominated by the United States and the Soviet Union. The movement aimed to create an alternative path for countries that did not want to align themselves with either of the two superpowers or their respective alliances (NATO and the Warsaw Pact). The roots of NAM went back to the friendship between three leaders — Yugoslavia’s Josip Broz Tito, India’s 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.
