# India and Indonesia Move Beyond Non-Aligned Movement in Joint Statements 2026-08-06T14:05:46+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet India and Indonesia have not mentioned the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in recent joint statements, despite being founding members. NAM was absent from statements issued during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Jakarta last month and President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to India in January 2025. Their discussions instead focused on Indo-Pacific issues, BRICS, ASEAN, maritime security, artificial intelligence, critical minerals, supply chains and cooperation among Global South countries. This reflects a shift towards strategic autonomy through multiple international groupings and issue-based partnerships. The principles associated with the 1955 Bandung Conference, including sovereignty, territorial integrity and peaceful dispute settlement, remain relevant. The omission indicates changed emphasis, but does not prove either country has abandoned NAM. ## Coverage - thediplomat.com Tags: diplomacy, Global South, India-Indonesia, Indo-Pacific, Non-Aligned Movement Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/india-and-indonesia-move-beyond-non-aligned-movement-in-joint-statements/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
