Answer
Exam answer
(1) MUTUAL RESPECT for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty. (2) MUTUAL NON-AGGRESSION — no country shall attack another. (The other three are: mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs; equality and mutual benefit; and peaceful coexistence.)
Explanation
One mark each. Panchsheel means the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, agreed between India and China in 1954 and later adopted as the basis of the Non-Aligned Movement. Learn all five, since the question may ask for any two or three. The name itself is the memory aid — "panch" is five. Do not confuse these with the objectives of the UN; papers offer UN functions as distractors in Panchsheel questions.
