1983 New Delhi summit conference
Seventh Summit Conference of Heads of State or Government of the Non-Aligned Movement on 7–12 March 1983 took place in New Delhi in India, one of the founders and leading members of the Non-Aligned Movement.[1] The summit followed the 1979 summit in Havana, Cuba at which confrontation between moderate member states, led by SFR Yugoslavia and India, and radical states, led by Cuba, pushed the movement into crisis.[2] The keynote address was delivered by Prime Minister of India Indira Gandhi.[1] At the summit in New Delhi, Bahamas, Barbados, Colombia and Vanuatu were admitted as new member states; Papua New Guinea and Antigua and Barbuda as observers; and Dominican Republic as a guest state.[2] Cambodia was absent from the meeting due to the rival delegations controversy. Saint Lucia failed to send a delegation. Luxembourg’s request for guest status was rejected on formalistic deadline grounds.[3] 1,500 journalists followed the event.[3]
