Section-II
Prime Minister Shri Jawaharlal Nehru was most buoyant on the signing of Panchsheel between India and China. Asking the Parliament to look at the wider implication of the principle of Panchsheel, he said that, if these principles were adopted in the relations of various countries with each other, a great deal of trouble between them would be removed. In his words, " it is a matter of great importance to us as well as to China that these
two countries which have now about one thousand eight hundred miles of frontier, should live in terms of peace and friendliness and should respect each other sovereignty and integrity, should agree not to interfere with each other in any way and in fact, though it is not formally stated as such, but practically speaking, not committing aggression on each other.

Note:
By this agreement, we ensure to a very large extent peace in certain areas of Asia. I would earnestly wish that the area of peace could be spread over the rest of Asia and indeed over the rest of the world".
