Asian-African Art and Culture 2008 Festival were taken place in Bandung on 23-24 April 2008.
To mark the 53th anniversary of the Conference, calls for "a momentum in achieving peace, prosperity and progress" and "dynamic partnerships" among the countries of the region to achieve these goals, some countries of the member sent  their art and culture contingents to join the festival.

 

Back to memory, Asian-African Conference's result in 1955 was known as the Ten Principles of Bandung, which was a political statement containing the basic principles in the efforts to promote peace and cooperation in the world.

The Asian-African Strategic Partnership is a vehicle to enable the countries of Asia and Africa to cooperate for their mutual benefit and is intended to promote peace, prosperity and progress in the two regions.

Visualising the Asia-Africa region as a zone "at peace with itself and with the world at large", the leaders called for feasible but "dynamic partnerships" at various levels among clusters of countries from the two continents. The existing initiatives, such as those that Japan or China or India or Indonesia had already forged for cooperation with Africa or among the non-aligned and South-South countries, should be streamlined, while duplication must be avoided.
