Explanation

Bandung is a major city located in Indonesia. In April 1955, it hosted the Bandung Conference, also known as the Asian African Conference. This meeting brought together leaders from 29 newly independent nations to promote economic and cultural cooperation and to oppose colonialism. The principles established during this conference, known as the Dasasila Bandung, served as the foundation for the formal establishment of the Non Aligned Movement in 1961. Therefore, Indonesia is the correct country.
