The Afro-Asian “People’s Solidarity Conference” ended in Cairo yesterday with an agreement on an anti-Western stand which included a strong anti-Israel resolution.
“The conference declares that the State of Israel is a base of imperialism which threatens the progress and security of the Middle East and condemns its aggressive policy, which is a threat to world peace, ” the resolution said.
The non-governmental conference of delegates, who asserted they represent 70 percent of the world’s population ended on the same note of vitriolic anti-Westernism as it began. “Imperialism, ” like that of the United States, Great Britain, France, Holland and even Italy, was denounced as the root of all evil.
