1988 Non-Aligned Foreign Ministers Conference was held in

South-West Africa.[1] During the conference, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was unanimously selected as a host of the 9th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, making the country the first one to host the event for the second time after the 1961 Summit.[2][1] While the Federal Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Yugoslavia led by Budimir Lončar was excited, the Presidency of Yugoslavia, Yugoslav collective head of state, was sceptical about the prospects of hosting the event but ultimately supported by Josip Vrhovec.[3] Some other countries considered hosting the 9th summit, including Kuwait, Argentina, Peru, Cyprus and Nicaragua.[3] Nicaraguan candidacy was opposed by Yugoslavia due to perceived radicalism and de facto alignment of the country, while Cypriot informal candidacy while attractive, was perceived as impractical as the country had only 4 embassies in NAM member states.[3]

The Foreign Ministers Conference in Nicosia welcomed the

anticolonial struggle veterans".[3]
