The Bandung Conference (1955) was organized by the five 'Colombo Powers': Indonesia, Burma, Ceylon, India, and Pakistan [3]. It was attended by 29 countries representing over 1.5 billion people, which constituted more than half of the world's population at the time. The conference reflected the sponsors' dissatisfaction with Western powers' reluctance to consult them on Asian matters, as they sought to assert their own voice in international affairs [3]. Furthermore, the conference was deeply concerned with Cold War tensions, specifically the friction between the People's Republic of China and the United States [2]. China's Premier Zhou Enlai played a crucial role in easing these tensions by promoting the 'Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence' to reassure neighbors and the West of China's peaceful intentions [3]. Thus, all three statements are historically accurate.
