Note on the Meeting of the Deputy Foreign Ministers

15 Mar 1969
Description: This memorandum of the March 1969 meeting of deputy foreign ministers in Budapest shows the fundamental differences of opinion between Romania and the rest of the Warsaw Pact members. Romanian delegate Mircea Maliţa opposes every issue on the agenda, from the condemnation of the West German government and the Warsaw Pact position on the Vietnamese and Middle Eastern questions to provocations against Warsaw Pact states' borders. This prompts Soviet delegate Nikolai Firyubin to describe the Romanian attitude as a deliberate attempt to "bury" the alliance and attracts a barrage of criticism from East Germany and Poland as well.
