This note on a conversation between the GDR’s Moscow embassy and the Soviet foreign ministry highlights the main issues discussed during a visit by the Indian foreign minister, Swaran Singh, to the Soviet Union. The Indian agenda focuses on disarmament and non-proliferation, including support for an immediate ban on nuclear weapons testing, especially with regard to China. The Soviets emphasize the German Question, expressing concern that West Germany is more likely to obtain nuclear weapons than China. The Soviets reassure the Indians that bilateral relations will not be affected by events in third-party countries.
