WHY BRIDGING THE "BEST" OF ASIA AND AFRICA?
In 2000 in Malaysia, the UNDP made an important statement that would inspire and guide the founders of AsiAfrica Foundation: “There is a need to create an Asia-Africa Foundation, a non-profit, non-governmental and neutral organization that would play a key role in raising funds, promoting activities and facilitating cooperation between Asia and Africa”.
Five years later, in 2005, African and Asian heads of the states gathered in Indonesia to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the first Bandung conference in 1955.
Their final declaration was: “To this end, we hereby declare, as an expression of our new political will, the establishment of a New Asian-African Strategic Partnership (NAASP) as a framework to build a bridge between Asia and Africa covering three broad areas of partnership, namely political solidarity, economic cooperation, and socio-cultural relations.”
This "Bridge" between Asia and Africa is and important, meaningful and powerful concept
