Cornerstone of harmony

China Daily  

LI MIN/CHINA DAILY The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence have had an enduring impact in the diplomatic strategies and foreign policies of the Global South This year commemorates the 70th anniversary of the formal codification of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in a treaty between China and India in 1954. The Westphalian principles suffered a serious setback with the interventionist foreign policy of the United States, ranging from "humanitarian interventions" at the cost of state sovereignty to increasingly frequent interventions in states' internal affairs. Although formulated in different historical contexts, both the Westphalian principles and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence emphasize the importance of sovereignty, non-interference and peaceful relations among states. In contrast to the West's divisive and assertive norm-based foreign policy, the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence serve as a guiding framework that promotes solidarity, cooperation and mutual respect among countries in the Global South, fostering relations between China and other Global South nations.
