The first official summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) was held in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in 1961. The summit was organized by Josip Broz Tito, the then-president of Yugoslavia, and it brought together leaders from newly independent countries who sought to remain neutral during the Cold War, avoiding alignment with either the United States or the Soviet Union. The conference aimed to promote peace, solidarity, and cooperation among countries that were not aligned with the major global power blocs.
