Bandung Principles go multilingual

People throughout Asia and Africa can now read the 10 Bandung Principles in their own languages.

The Asia-Africa Conference Museum has completed translating the Bandung Principles into all the native languages of the original 29 participants at the 1955 conference. Originally the Principles were only available in Indonesian and English.

The process began four months ago with the museum securing the help of the countries that attended the 1955 conference to assist with the translation.

Not only that, according to the Museum's curator, audio visual recordings of the translated Bandung Principles would also soon be available. --JP
