April 1, 1955	Report from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, 'The Asian-African Conference' The note covers the background, achievements, and influence of the Asian-African Conference.

April 4, 1955	Report from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, 'Draft Plan for Attending the Asian-African Conference' The participants in the Asian-African Conference had the common interest in pursuing international peace and national economic and cultural development.

It also spelled out the relations of China and different groups of counties in the Conference, as well as the logistic issues.
