Communique issued

In a sudden burst of speed after more than a week of slow progress the conference produced a lengthy communique and adopted resolution dealing with both student problems and world affairs. The resolutions condemned colonialism and racial discrimination and recommended steps towards closer relations among the students of Asia and Africa.

The communique stated the conference had considered common problems and common interests in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and closer friendship! It then listed a number of unanimous agreements.

The resolutions were recommendations of sub-committees in which India and Pakistan and their supporters are understood to have moderated the demand of Communist China and its supporters by demanding that the resolutions be unanimous and threatening that otherwise they would walk out.
