Explanation:

The Panchsheel or “Five Principles of Peaceful Existence” was a joint statement issued during Chinese premier Zhou Enlai’s visits to India in 1954. It was the period marking end of colonialism and emergence of new nations in Asia and Africa.

These five principles were as follows:

• Mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

• Mutual non-aggression.

• Mutual non-interference in internal matters.

• Equality and mutual benefit

• Peaceful co-existence.

Panchsheel principles resonated with India’s aspiration as India wanted to preserve her independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity. India focused on establishing relations with other countries as equal footing and get protection from external invasions. In China, India saw an equal partner and reliable neighbor. India was one of the first countries to recognize China’s communist government; needless to say, Nehru was deeply influenced by communist  deology. India not only supported the UNSC permanent seat for China but also invited China to take part in Bandung Conference.
