Jakarta – The Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stated that the Bandung Spirit
had helped his country to gain international community’s acceptance after the
World War II.
“Live and
let live. That’s the President Sukarno’s quotation which is better known as the
Spirit of Bandung. The spirit allows us to re-enter the international community
after the World War II,” said Prime Minister Abe at the Asian-African Summit in
the Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of Asian-African Conference in
Jakarta Convention Centre (JCC), Wednesday (4/22).
According
to him, the value of the Spirit of Bandung, which prohibited colonialism,
helped his country to recover from the World War’s impact. “To those friends of
ours who had formulated the Bandung Spirit, let me take this opportunity to
extend our heartfelt gratitude,” he stated.
The Spirit
of Bandung, he added, is enhancing the relation between the two continents. “It
is time for us to show strong unity, which was built between the two
continents, to the rest of the world. Let’s show them,” he concluded.
