A REPORT BY USSR FOREIGN MINISTER ANDRE GROMYKO ON THE USSR'S
INTERNATIONAL SITUATION AND FOREIGN POLICY.
"IN THESE PAST YEAR S T HE EFFORTS OF THE SOVIET UNION AND
OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE SOCIAL 1ST COMMUNITY I N EUROPE WERE
DIRECTED ABOVE ALL AT STRENTHENING PEACE ON THE CONTINENT,
AT AFFIRMING THE PRINCIPLE OF THE INVIOLABILITY OF THE BORDERS,
AS THEY SHAPED OUT AS A RESILT OF THE WAR. THE THESIS ON THE
I N V I O L A B I LI TY OF THE BORDERS HAS ALREADY FOUND R E F L E C T I O N I N
.MANY INTER--STATE TREATIES AND WILL DOUBTLESSLY BE AFFIRMED
IN THE DOCUMENTS OF THE ALL-EUROPEAN CONFERENCE," WRITES
THE IZVEST IYA.
T "'IT CAN BE SAID T HAT MOST OF T HC PART I C I PANTS I N THE
BETWEEN THE SOVIET UNION AM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.'
"OF KEY IMPORTANCE IS THE FACT THAT PROGRESS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED
IN A PART ICI.11. ARL Y SIGNIFI CANT ASPECT OF SOVIET - AMER I CAN

"ALL' T HI S OF COI.R SE, IS TEST IMONY T HAT T HE WORLD HAS BE COME
?
MORE TRANQUIL," WR ITES IZVESIT YA, "HS NEVER, THE INTER NAT ZONAL
SIT UAT ION HAS BECOME FAR FR OM SIMPLER. IT WOULD BE WRONG TO
DISCOUNT THE ACT IVIT IES OF INFL UENT IAL FORCES IN THE
,UNITED STATES OF AMER ICA REPRESENT ING THE I NDUSTRIAL-M.ILIT AR Y
COMPLEX, ZIONIST CIR CLES, AS WELL AS THE SERVITORS OF THE
MONOPOLIES ENTRENCHED AMONG THE TRADE UNION ELITE OF THE
AFL-CIO. THESE FM CES COME OUT AGAINST SOVIET-AMERICAN DETENTE,
AGAINST DETENTE IN GENERAL. IT IS PRECISELY THEY WHO INSPIRE
THE NATO BOSSES TOWARD S THE ARMS RACE, TOWARDS MACHINATIONS
AGAINST PORTUGAL AND A NUMBER OF OTHER ACT ! 0NS UNDERM I NJ NG
PEACE. HAVING LOST ALL SENSE OF REAL IT Y, T HE SE FORCES HAD
UNDERTAKEN A GROSS ATTEMPT AT INTERFERENCE IN THE INTERNAL
AFFAIRS OF THE SOVIET STATE."
T HE PAPER R ECALL S T HAT I N DECEMBER 1974 THE
U.S. CONGRESS PASSED A TRADE REFORM BILL WHICH INCLUDED ABSOLUTELY
UNACCEPTABLE CLAUSES WHICH IN FACT MEANT THE PERPETUATION OF
DISCRIMINATORY OBSTACLES IN THE PATH OF DEVELOPING SOVIET-
AMER ICAN TRADE AND ECONOMIC T IES. "IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES THE
SOVIET UNION FOUN) IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT INTO EFFECT THE SOVIET -
AMER I CAN TRADE AGREEMENT OF 1972. THE SOVIET UNION
RECOGNIZES ONLY ONE FOUN) AT I O N ON I N H I CH SOVIET -AMER I CAN RELATIONS
IN GENERAL,, AN) TRADE AND ECONOMIC RELAT IONS IN PART ICULAR,
CAN BE SUCCESSFULL Y BUILT. IT IS CLEARLY FORMULATED IN THE
APPROPR LATE SOVIET -AMER I CAN DOCUMENTS: THIS IS COMPLETE
EQUALITY OF THE SIDES AND NON-INTERFERENCE IN EACH OTHER'S
INTERNAL AFFAIRS."
THE IZVEST IYA STRESSES THAT "POLIT ICAL DETENTE OUGHT TO BE
ENHANCED BY RELAXAT ION IN THE MIL ITARY FIELD AND BE USED FOR
REDUCING ARMAMENT S, FOR THE STRUGGLE FOR DISARMAMENT , FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNAT IONAL ECONOMIC, TECHNICO-SCIENTIFIC
AT CULTURAL RELAT IONS BETWEEN ALL COUNTRIES ON A RECOPROCALLY
ADVENTAGEOUS AND EQUAL BASIS, WITHOUT ANY DISCRIMINATION AND
INTERFERENCE IN INTER NAL AFFAIRS AT ALL WHATSOEVER."
T HE PA PER WR ITES T HAT T HE USSR W ILL GO ON SUPPORT I NG T HE
PEOPLES OF THE ARAB COUNTR IES AND OF INDOCHINA. "WE MAINTAIN
FIRM FR LEND SHIP WITH MANY THIRD-WORLD COUNTRIES THAT HAVE
SHAKEN OFF THE COLONIAL YOKE."
"COOPERAT ION BETWEEN SOCIAL IST AND THE, DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
WILL GO ON STRENGT HENING IN THE INTERESTS OF PEACE AND NAT ZONAL
L 1BERAT ION."
NO PROVOCATIONS BY THE PEKING LEADERS WHO HAVE LINKED UP
WITH EXTREME IMPER IAL 1ST REACT ION, ARE ABLE TO HINDER THIS
FR ZEN) SHIP, OR THE ENT IRE FR OCESS OF DETENTE."
