SECOND AND LAST ADD 49 (USSR-DRV STATEMENT TEXT)
XXX THE WHOLE WORLD.
(TEXT) THE VIETNAM WORKERS PARTY AND THE DRV GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
THE SOVIET UNION'S ACTIVITIES WHICH, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
DECISIONS OF THE 24TH CPSU CONGRESS, ARE DIRECTED AT STRENGTHENING
PEACE AND INTERNATIONAL SECURITY, AT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
PRINCIPLES OF PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE AMONG STATES WITH DIFFERENT
SOCIAL SYSTEMS THAT WERE ELABORATED BY.V.I. LENIN, AT GIVING
VIGOROUS SUPPORT TO THE PEOPLES STRUGGLING FOR INDEPENDENCE,
FREEDOM AND SOCIAL PROGRESS.
BOTH SIDES BELIEVE THAT THE FINAL INTERNATIONAL-LEGAL RECOGNITION
OF THE INVIOLABILITY OF STATE BORDERS NOW EXISTING IN EUROPE,
INCLUDING THE BORDER BETWEEN THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC AND
THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY, WHICH FOUND ITS REFLECTION IN
THE APPROPRIATE TREATIES SIGNED BY THE USSR, POLAND AND THE
GDR WITH THE FRG, IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN THE CAUSE
OF PRESERVING PEACE AND SECURITY IN EURO?E AND IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
BOTH SIDES BELIEVE THAT THE ALL-EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON SECURITY
AND COOPERATION, THAT HAS COMMENCED ITS WORK, IS CALLED UPON
TO CONSOLIDATE THE RESULTS OF THE WORLD ANTI-FASCIST WAR AND
CREATE ADDITIONAL FAVOURABLE CONDITIONS FOR THE STRENGTHENING
OF PEACE AND SECURITY IN THAT CONTINENT.
THE SOVIET AND THE VIETNAMESE DELEGATIONS RESOLUTELY SUPPORT
THE STRUGGLE OF THE PEOPLES OF ASIA, AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA
DIRECTED AGAINST IMPERIALISM, COLONIALISM AND NEOCOLONIALISM,
FOR INDEPENDENCE, FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL PROGRESS.
IN THE OPINION OF BOTH SIDES, SPECIAL IMPORTANCE IS BEING
ACQUIRED IN THE PRESENT CONDITIONS BY THE UTMOST STRENGTHENING
OF COHESION AND COOPERATION AMONG SOCIALIST COUNTRIES, BY THE
STRENGTHENING OF THE ALLINACE BETWEEN THE SOCIALIST SYSTEM AND
THE FORCES OF NATIONAL LIBERATION, BY THE FURTHER COHESION OF THE
ODMMUNIST MOVEMENT ON THE BASIS OF THE PRINCIPLES OF MARXISM-LENINISM
AND PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM. THE CPSU AND THE VIETNAM WORKERS
PARTY STATE THAT THEY WILL MULTIPLY THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE
CAUSE OF RALLYING ALL PEACELOVING ANTI-IMPERIALIST FORCES OF OUR
TIME.
