Question

Why might a country’s leaders have wanted to join the nonaligned movement during the Cold War

Answer 1

Apart from that, the country would have made numerous enemies instantly after choosing a side, so lot of leaders where trying to avoid the alliances, some successfully, some not. The best example for this is Yugoslavia during the reign of Tito, a country that was strong, between the two blocks, but acted by its own interests, not the others.
