Summary of Events
22 September - 5 October 1961
According to Premier Castro, the Bloc has agreed to take at least
4. 5 million Spanish long tons of Cuban sugar annually during the next
4 years. Castro added that in 1962 Bloc purchases will be above the
world market price.
The Copper Department of the Chilean Mining Industry recently
authorized the sale to the USSR of 60, 000 tons of copper annually during
the period 1962-66.
The recent deterioration in Afghan-Pakistan relations has seriously
disrupted the trade of Afghanistan with its trading partners in the Free
World and also has created an opportunity for the USSR to alleviate
Afghanistan's current trade difficulties and to demonstrate again its sup-
port of Afghanistan in the Pushtunistan dispute with Pakistan.
A Soviet-Moroccan arms agreement reportedly has been concluded.
Negotiations for Moroccan purchase of Soviet arms presumably were
conducted in November 1960 by the Moroccan military mission to
Moscow.
An economic and technical assistance agreement between Mali and
Communist China has been signed in Peiping. Recently arrived Bloc
artillery and other military equipment were displayed in Mali's Inde-
pendence Day parade on 22 September.
In mid-September, Soviet Vice-Admiral Chernopay arrived in
Indonesia to establish a technical and training mission that will total
300 men. The Soviet specialists will assist all three Indonesian mili=?
tary services.
