At the first NAM summit held at Belgrade, Nehru emphasized on negotiations for peace; negotiations for complete dis-armament and ending imperialism in all forms.
He condemned North Korean aggression against South Korea.
In 1956 India condemned the Anglo-French action in Egypt on the Suez Canal issue.
