JAKARTA - The Asia-African Conference Museum, the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs presents the spirit of Bandung through a quote from the speech of the leaders of KAA's 1955 participating countries at the temporary exhibition "Tourur Luhur Figur Asia-Africa The Words That Echo Through the Ages".
Held from October 24 to December 27, 2025, this exhibition aims to interpret 70 years of KAA and provide space for reflection on expressions of international solidarity and calls for peace as reflected in various speeches delivered during the 1955 KAA, and are still relevant in responding to the current global situation.
The speeches of the heads of delegates at the plenary session of the opening of KAA (18-19 April 1955) and the closing plenary session of KAA (24 April 1955) became a milestone for the birth of Asia-Africa solidarity and the spirit of Bandung which changed the world order.
The exhibition also highlights various dynamics outside the court, such as informal meetings between delegates and cultural diplomacy which also enrich the meaning of the milestone in Indonesia's diplomacy through KAA.
"In addition to efforts to reinterpret the 70 Years of KAA travel, this temporary exhibition is a manifestation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' public diplomacy in the preservation and promotion of the spirit of Bandung. I hope this exhibition can increase public ownership of the spirit of Bandung and KAA as a milestone as well as the achievement of Indonesian diplomacy," explained the Director General of Information and Public Diplomacy of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Heru Hartanto Subolo in his remarks at the opening of the exhibition, launching a statement from the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, October 25.
Ambassador Heru further said, in 1955, the speeches of the heads of delegates helped encourage the spirit of independence in the Asian African country. Meanwhile, today, the younger generation has a big role in disseminating the spirit of Bandung throughout the world.
