Description:
This is the transcript of a speech given by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko at the 1982 meeting of the Warsaw Pact's Committee of Ministers of Foreign Affairs (CMFA) in Moscow. He analyzes the international situation and assesses the prospects for the resumption of the CSCE negotiations in Madrid. He also informs the participants about the US-Soviet nuclear arms limitation talks in Geneva, and criticizes the US proposals, which he says only apply to the Soviets' core strategic forces, but not to those of the US. In his comments on the Vienna talks on the reduction of conventional forces, he rejects the notion of asymmetric disarmament. Collection: Foreign Ministers
