ABSTRACT

This study analyzes the inter-Korean diplomatic rivalry surrounding the proposed Second Asian-African Conference during the years 1964–1965. Both North and South Korea were simultaneously invited to the Jakarta Preparatory Meeting, and the two Koreas directly confronted each other at the subsequent Geneva Economic Conference, reflecting their competition for legitimacy on the international stage. North Korea actively promoted its model of an independent national economy, while South Korea adopted a more cautious approach aimed at preventing international acceptance of a “two Koreas” framework. Although the Second Asian-African Conference was ultimately postponed indefinitely, the entire process reveals how the issues of decolonization, the Cold War, division of the Korean peninsula, and development intersected within the international politics of the Third World.
