Beijing [China]June 29 : Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday highlighted the relevance of India’s 'Panjil’ to resolve current conflicts during a conference in Beijing to mark the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence.
“…the Chinese leadership for the first time fully specified the Five Principles, namely mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, mutual non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence, in China-India and China-Myanmar joint statements. Included, they jointly called for the creation of basic norms for inter-state relations.
The Panchsheel Pact, or known as the Five Principles of Coexistence, is a set of principles governing relations between states. They were first codified during an agreement between India and China in 1954.
„The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were born in Asia, but quickly rose to the world stage. In 1955, more than 20 Asian and African countries attended the Bandung Conference. They basically proposed ten principles for dealing with state-to-state relations. The Five Principles, and the Non-Aligned Movement that emerged in the 1960s, Solidarity, Advocated the Bandung spirit of friendship and cooperation, adopting the Five Principles as its guiding principles.
Referring to the 'Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence’, also known as 'Panjil’, the Chinese President said that they answered the call of the times and its initiation was an inevitable historical development.
Panchazeel’s timeless relevance is based on its firm roots in the cultural traditions of its founders, one of the world’s oldest civilizations. The contact established through the spread of Buddhism in China laid the historical basis for India and China to develop the Panchsheela principles together, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Citing the importance of the region’s development, China’s President Xi Jinping said that while the Global South stands out with strong momentum, it is even more important to remain inclusive and open.
„Over the past 70 years, countries have proven time and time again that the best way to come together to face challenges and create a better future is to promote unity, cooperation, communication and understanding. Among all the forces in the world, the Global South stands out. With a strong impetus, standing at a new historical starting point. , plays an important role in promoting human progress, the global south must be more open and more inclusive, and take the lead in building a society with a shared future for humanity,” the Chinese president said on Friday.
„Together, we must be the building blocks of global governance. Actively participate in reforming and improving the global governance system, expand the common interests of all parties, and make the global governance structure more balanced and effective. Together, we must be advocates for exchange among civilizations,” Xi added, in a veiled attack on the West, according to a Chinese Foreign Ministry press release.
The Declaration on Principles of International Law, adopted at the 25th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 1970, and the Declaration on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order, adopted at the sixth special UNGA session in 1974, both recognized the five principles.
„Since they are included in important international documents, the five principles have been widely recognized and adhered to by the international community,” the Chinese president said.
The Five Principles of Panchsheel or Peaceful Coexistence were formally declared in the Agreement on Trade and Relations between China and India signed on 29 April 1954. According to the MEA, we have decided to enter into the present agreement based on the following principles: mutual respect, territorial integrity and sovereignty, mutual non-aggression, mutual intervention, equality and mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.
Two months later, when Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai visited India, he and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru issued a joint statement on June 28, 1954, which expanded their vision not only for relations between the two countries, but also for Panchsheel structure. For their relations with all other countries, a solid foundation for peace and security in the world will be laid.
