  • Respect for the sovereignty of each member state

  • Non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries

  • Ensure equality and mutual benefit

  • Peaceful coexistence

  • In July 1956, Jawaharlal Nehru (India), Marshal Tito (Yugoslavia), Gamal Abdul Nasser (Egypt), and Ahmad Sukarno (Indonesia) met in Brijuni, Yugoslavia, to outline the framework for the grouping.
