Consider the following statements: 1. Panchsheel was signed between People’s Republic of China and India after the Sino- Indian War in 196 2. 2. India and China supporting each other in international fora is one of the principles of Panchsheel? Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Panchsheel Agreement was signed on April 29, 1954, well before the Sino-Indian War of 1962 [c1][c2]. It was formally enunciated in the 'Agreement on Trade and Intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India' [t1][t5]. Statement 2 is also incorrect as 'supporting each other in international fora' is not one of the five specific principles. The five principles are: (i) mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty, (ii) mutual non-aggression, (iii) mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs, (iv) equality and mutual benefit, and (v) peaceful co-existence [c1][t2]. While the principles were later adopted by the UN and the Non-Aligned Movement to guide international relations, the specific clause mentioned in statement 2 is not part of the original Panchsheel framework [c4][t9]. Therefore, neither statement is correct.
