Official Key
Which of the following is NOT a part of the five principles enshrined in the 'Panchsheel' agreement signed by India and China in 1954 ?
Explanation
The Panchsheel Agreement, or the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, was formally signed on April 29, 1954, by India and China. It was initially part of the agreement regarding trade and intercourse between India and the Tibet region of China.
According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), 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.
- Equality and mutual benefit.
- Peaceful coexistence.
As listed above, Cultural cooperation (Option D) is not one of the five core principles of Panchsheel. While cultural exchange is a significant part of bilateral relations, it was not codified as one of the foundational 'Five Principles' in the 1954 treaty.
