He said the planned events will deepen the mutual understanding and friendship between the people of the two neighbors and push forward the strategic and cooperative partnership between the two countries.

President Sein said the five principles embody the will of Asian nations and other developing countries to realize independence as well as the purposes and tenets of the UN Charter, conform to the historical tide of peace and development, and meet the common interests of the people of the world.

He hoped that Myanmar, China and India will deepen their mutual understanding and cooperation through the commemoration and continue to firmly adhere to the five principles of peaceful coexistence, thus working together on peace, stability and prosperity of their region and the entire world.

In his message, Chinese President Xi said the five principles, which stand for mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence, have served as the cornerstone of China's independent foreign policy of peace during the past six decades.

He said the principles have withstood the test of international vicissitudes and have been widely accepted and observed by the international community.
