Which one of the following is NOT a principle of “Panchsheel”?
- ANon-alignmentCorrect
- BPeaceful Co-existence
- CMutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty
- DMutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs
Explanation
The correct answer is A because Non alignment is not one of the five principles of Panchsheel. The Panchsheel agreement, signed between India and China in 1954, consists of the following five principles: 1. Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, 2. Mutual non aggression, 3. Mutual non interference in each other’s internal affairs, 4. Equality and mutual benefit, and 5. Peaceful co existence. While Non alignment was a key pillar of India’s foreign policy during the Cold War, it was a separate concept and was not part of the specific five principles listed in the Panchsheel Treaty.
