In 1956, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru articulated India's foreign policy as one of non-alignment and peaceful coexistence. He emphasized the importance of maintaining independence from the major power blocs of the Cold War, advocating for diplomacy and dialogue over military alliances. Nehru sought to promote solidarity among newly independent nations and championed decolonization while striving for global disarmament. This approach aimed to position India as a leader in the Non-Aligned Movement, fostering cooperation among developing countries.
