What is non aligument movement?

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a group of countries that chose not to formally align with either the Western bloc led by the United States or the Eastern bloc led by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Established in 1961 during the Belgrade Conference, NAM aimed to promote peace, security, and cooperation among developing nations while advocating for their independence and sovereignty. The movement continues to exist today, focusing on issues like economic development, global peace, and social justice among its member states.
