长期以来，亚洲关系会议一直是1955年万隆会议的历史注脚。然而，在本文中，我认为需要独立地阅读和分析这次会议。作为声援非殖民化的开始行动，这次会议把非殖民化的时刻和运动放在一起，提醒我们注意两者的希望和陷阱。特别是，人们需要意识到其以欧洲为中心的解读，这种解读几乎总是将“第三世界”置于冷战计划的背景下，因此无法理解其历史相关性。
ABSTRACT The Asian Relations Conference has long served as a historical footnote to the more famous Bandung Conference of 1955. In this paper, however, I argue that this Conference needs to be read and analysed independently. As the opening act of decolonial solidarity, this Conference juxtaposes the moment and the movement of decolonisation, alerting us to the promises and pitfalls of both. In particular one needs to be conscious of its Eurocentric readings which almost always place the ‘Third World’ within the context of the Cold War project and thus are incapable of understanding its historical relevance.
