At the Bandung Conference 65 years ago, the diplomatic whirlwind set off by Premier Zhou Enlai not only opened a new diplomatic window for China, but more importantly, clarified the long-standing misunderstanding and smear to the world, and set a new milestone for China's diplomacy. Today, 65 years later, China's proposed construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative to promote the common development of Asian and African countries is precisely to give a new era connotation to the Bandung Conference, and it will also be bound to draw a heavy stroke on China's diplomacy.
