Sixty years ago, world attention focused on the Indonesian city of Bandung where leaders of the emerging “Third World” were meeting to establish their voice in global affairs. A major figure at the Bandung Conference was undoubtedly the late Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai, whose achievements then were commemorated this April by China and Indonesia.
Organized by the CPAFFC and the Association of Indonesia-China Economic, Social and Cultural Cooperation (AICESCC), the opening ceremony of the Photo Exhibition “Zhou Enlai and the Bandung Conference” was held in Jakarta on April 23. Among the 200 Indonesian and Chinese guests were CPAFFC Vice President Lin Yi, Zhou’s nieces Zhou Bingde and Zhou Bing-
jian, AICESCC Chairman Sukamdani S. Gitosardjono and Indonesian Ambassador to China Soegeng Rahardjo.
The exhibition was one of several activities in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of China-Indonesia diplomatic relations and the 60th anniversary of the Bandung Conference (Asia-Africa Conference). It comprises three parts, which respectively introduce the international background of the conference and its proceedings as well as the history of China-Indonesia friendly relations.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Lin Yi said the conference marked the first time Asian and African nations discuss their affairs without the participation of colonialist countries. Zhou Enlai, Indonesian President Soekarno and fellow leaders jointly proposed 10 principles governing international relations that formed the “Bandung Spirit” with peaceful co-existence and seeking common grounds while reserving differences as the core.
This still had great practical significance in guiding state-to-state relations, resolving international disputes and safeguarding world peace. Through vivid historical photos, the exhibition was being held to cherish the memory of the older generation of leaders of Asian and African countries, carry forward their legacy and advance future cooperation.
Zhou Bingde expressed gratitude to exhibition organizers for their efforts. She said that the presence of Premier Zhou as head of the Chinese delegation to the Bandung Conference was a remarkable achievement of New China’s diplomacy. She hoped the exhibition would arouse awareness of people, especially the young, to value China-Indonesia friendship and world peace at large.
Huang Shuhai, who worked as Premier Zhou Enlai’s interpreter of Indonesian language at the Bandung Conference, recalled the international situation at the time and the great contributions made by the Premier in ensuring tangible results.
Mr. Sukamdani S. Gitosardjono said that the AICESCC had the honor to co-sponsor the exhibition with the CPAFFC, and he was sure the event would contribute to furthering mutual understanding and trust between the Indonesian and Chinese peoples.
Representatives of returned overseas Chinese from Indonesia and a choir from Jakarta sang songs in praise of China-Indonesia friendship and in memory of Premier Zhou Enlai.
Madame Megawati Soekarnoputri, daughter of the late President Soekarno and former President of Indonesia, sent a special representative to speak at the opening ceremony.
Besides Jakarta, the photo exhibition was scheduled to tour other major cities of Indonesia.
