Which one among the following does NOT figure among the Five Principles of Panchsheel ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, known as Panchsheel, were first formally enunciated in the 1954 Agreement on Trade and Intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India [3]. The five specific principles are: (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 coexistence [5]. These principles were later incorporated into the Bandung Conference declaration and the Non-Aligned Movement's core tenets [7]. While the principles focus on diplomatic conduct and sovereignty, 'Nuclear non-proliferation' was never part of the original 1954 framework or the subsequent joint statements by Jawaharlal Nehru and Zhou Enlai [5]. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer as it does not figure among the Five Principles.
