Which of the following is not a laid down principle of the Panchsheel ?

The Panchsheel, or the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, was first formally enunciated in the 1954 Agreement on Trade and Intercourse between the Tibet region of China and India [2]. The five established principles are: (i) mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty, (ii) mutual non-aggression, (iii) mutual non-interference in each other's internal affairs, (iv) equality and mutual benefit, and (v) peaceful co-existence [5]. These principles were later incorporated into the Bandung Conference declaration and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly [4]. While the principles emphasize bilateral respect and non-interference, they do not include a specific mandate for 'mutual support for each other in world forum' [5]. Therefore, option 3 is not a laid down principle of the Panchsheel framework.
