CEVAP:

As the Cold War was unfolding, the prime ministers of India, Burma (now Myanmar), Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Indonesia, and Pakistan met in Colombo (the capital of Sri Lanka) to discuss their common concerns, including liberation movements, great power involvement in Indochina, and the US and British tendency to form alliances in Asia (Young and Kent, 2013: 320). The Colombo Conference in 1954 was the motivation for the Bandung Conference.
