As part of the activities of the 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 – 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞, participants paid a significant visit to the 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐛𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐮𝐦 — a historic site that once housed the late president and now stands as a living archive of his life, leadership, and lasting global influence.
During the visit, delegates toured key rooms that shaped pivotal decisions in Egypt’s modern history:
• The presidential salon and meeting room
• His private office, bedroom, and reception area
• The Monshiet El-Bakry corner, symbolic of his public connection
• Personal items including handwritten speeches, diplomatic gifts, military decorations, and family photos
Beyond the physical space, the experience served as a bridge to the past, helping young leaders better understand the roots of 𝐬𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐭𝐲, 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, & 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡.
The visit concluded with a seminar titled "𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞", featuring remarks from prominent national figures including:
• 𝐇.𝐄. 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐤 – Former Minister of African Affairs
• 𝐇.𝐄. 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐥 𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐲 – Former Minister of Foreign Affairs
• 𝐀𝐦𝐛. 𝐀𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐟𝐚𝐠𝐲 – Deputy Assistant Minister for International Security Affairs
• 𝐄𝐧𝐠. 𝐀𝐛𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐦 𝐀𝐛𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐫 – Son of the late president
Speakers reflected on Nasser’s enduring role not only as a national leader, but as a symbol for Afro-Asian liberation, international dignity, and people-centered leadership. His vision lives on — in institutions, in alliances, and in the minds of young leaders determined to carry the torch.

70 years on, principles of Bandung Conference can guide Global South
The Global South has to be at the forefront of shaping the evolving multipolar world focused on an equitable global community. The architects of Bandung would expect nothing less of us
By Anil Sooklal
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the first Asia-Africa summit, which took place in Bandung, Indonesia from April 18 to 24, 1955. Twenty-nine newly independent Asian and African countries met in what was a historical gathering of the leaders of the developing south, recently freed from the devastation brought upon their countries by the ravages of colonial rule. Bandung was to set in motion a new wave of south-south cooperation and solidarity and served as the precursor of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM). The conveners of the conference were driven by the common goals of seeking to chart a new course of sovereign, independent and collective action in addressing the most pressing challenges as newly independent, developing nations dissatisfied with being at the margins of the global stage.
The reluctance and continued hegemonic actions by the former colonial overlords and other Western powers in their interactions with countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America served as a key factor in bringing the leaders together. For South Africa, the Bandung Conference was a critical platform to bring global attention to the oppressive apartheid regime that governed the country through White minority rule. The African National Congress (ANC), the foremost liberation organisation championing the freedom of the country both within and internationally, sent two delegates to the conference —Moses Kotane and Maulvi Chachalia — to lobby support internationally for South Africa’s freedom struggle. The core principles that catalysed the coming together of Asian and African leaders are as relevant today as they were in 1955. These included political independence, mutual respect for sovereignty, non-aggression and non-interference in internal affairs.
