Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation

The Afro-Asian People's Solidarity Organisation (AAPSO) is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to the ideals of national liberation, anti-colonialism, and Third World solidarity.[1] The organization is based in Egypt and has around 26-50 staff.[2]

The AAPSO was founded as the Solidarity Council of the Afro-Asian Countries at a conference held in Cairo December 1957 to January 1958.[3] The name was changed to its present form at the second conference held in Conakry, Guinea in April 1960.[4] The AAPSO has 90 national committees.[2] The Soviet Afro-Asian Solidarity Committee was a charter member. Observer status was held by the World Federation of Trade Unions, World Federation of Democratic Youth, Women's International Democratic Federation and the World Peace Council.[4]
