The Cairo Conference (codenamed Sextant[1]) also known as the First Cairo Conference, one of the 14 summit meetings during World War II, took place on November 22–26, 1943. The Conference was held at Cairo in Egypt between China, the United Kingdom and the United States. It outlined the Allied position against the Empire of Japan during World War II and made decisions about post-war Asia. The conference was attended by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and US President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The Conference agenda was to formulate strategy to counterattack the Empire of Japan, make arrangements for the post-war international situation, coordinate the counter-attack on Burma and aid to China. The Cairo Declaration after the conference demanded Japan's unconditional surrender, the return to China of all occupied lands, and the shaping of a new post-war East Asia.
The Cairo Conference established China's status as one of the four world powers, which was of great political and strategic significance to China. Although many of the resolutions and promises made at the conference were not implemented, and the plan of action was repeatedly postponed and changed, the aim of a joint Chinese, British, and American counter-attack on Burma was eventually achieved.
It was one of a series of Allied World War II conferences.
