28th June 2004 marks the 50th Anniversary of "Panch Sila" - the agreement on five principles signed between H.E. Chou En Lai, the Prime Minister of People's Republic of China and H.E. Javaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of the Republic of India. This was a historic event which enunciated a new vision for inter-state relations among countries based on respect of Human Rights, Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity, Recognition of Equality, Abstention from interference in internal affairs and to respect each nation to defend singly or collectively. In fifty years World has seen many changes, yet this vision is still relevant specially at a juncture of turbulent World; to ensure peace, harmony, solidarity and cooperation above all human dignity.

The Panch Sila or the Five Principles became the basis for the convening of the Bandung Conference in 1955 which enlarged into "Dasa Sila or the Ten Principles" Afro-Asian Peoples Solidarity Organization regard this event as a great step and in commemorating "the Panch Sila Spirit" appeals to all nations to uphold this vision as a viable alternative for a great future for the community of nations.
