The ‘Panchsheel’ or Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence were enunciated in the Preamble to the Agreement on Trade and Intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India, signed on April 29, 1954. The five 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. Cultural cooperation was not one of the original five principles.
