Solution

Panchsheel means:

Mutual respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty
Mutual non-aggression
Mutual non-interference in each other’s internal affairs
Equality and mutual benefit
Peaceful coexistence

India has consistently tried to formulate her foreign policy in accordance with the principles of Panchsheel, trying to establish mutual trust and peace. It is also trying to ensure that countries do not get into conflict with each other but develop deep-rooted economic and cultural relations. Indian foreign policy is based on neutrality, non-interference, non-aggression, non-involvement and peaceful co-existence.
