About NAM:
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) stands as an alliance of developing nations established in 1961 during the Cold War, with roots traced back to the Bandung Conference held in Indonesia in 1955. Currently, NAM boasts a membership of 120 countries, including India, one of its founding members. Ranking as the second-largest grouping of nations globally, NAM operates without a permanent secretariat or a formal founding charter, act, or treaty. The movement convenes its summit approximately every three years.
Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa whose diverse landscape encompasses the snow-capped Rwenzori Mountains and immense Lake Victoria. Its abundant wildlife includes chimpanzees as well as rare birds. Remote Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a renowned mountain gorilla sanctuary.
