Panchsheel
Panchsheel has been described as "the hidden deep whence humanity shall flower in multiplicity." It is a series of five principles of peaceful coexistence developed in 1954 to guide the relationships among China, India, and Burma (now Myanmar).
The five principles are:
- mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty,
- mutual non-aggression,
- mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs,
- equal and mutual benefit,
- and peaceful co-existence.
Now, more than fifty years later, these principles are ever more crucial to a positive future. Imagine the paradigm shift that would occur if panchsheel were used widely as our diplomatic north star, inspiring trust and hope for the global community.
