50th Anniversary Additional Commemorative Non-Aligned Meeting was the 5–6 September 2011 Non-Aligned Movement foreign ministers commemorative meeting which took place in Belgrade, Serbia. The meeting took place in the House of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, building which hosted the 1st Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement on 5–12 June 1961 (at the time as the Parliament of Yugoslavia) during the existence of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The idea for meeting was proposed by the President of Serbia Boris Tadić during his participation at 15th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. Some 600 delegates, representing over 100 national delegations, attended the meeting. The meeting was opened by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Egypt Mohamed Kamel Amr who said “Today's meeting, 50 years after the founding assembly, is an indicator of the strength of our movement and we are grateful to the founders, the historic leaders who led our movement”. In his speech, President of Serbia Tadić underlined that his country has increased UN peacekeeping contribution in a number of NAM countries and established a “World in Serbia” scholarship fund enabling hundreds each year to study at the University of Belgrade.
