The Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence are: mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non- interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. These ideas were first put forward by then Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai on December 31, 1953, when he met an Indian Government Delegation.
In 1955, the Asian-African Conference convened in Bandung, Indonesia, adopted Ten Principles for Conducting International Relations, inside which the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence were included. Thereafter, in the process of the third world countries seeking for a fairer international political and economic order, the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence have been accepted and adopted by the overwhelming majority of the developing countries, and have an increasing impact all over the world.
Seventy years have passed since the birth of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence. Through the international situation has changed dramatically, the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-Existence stand even stronger.
