|
Description:
In this memo, Canada's Minister of External Affairs Lester Pearson provides a summary of his talks with Khrushchev and Bulganin. In context of July's Geneva Summit, the main topics discussed are NATO, the German Question and European security. While Pearson reiterates the defensive nature of the alliance, Khrushchev rejects a reunified Germany's membership in NATO, instead proposing a unified European security system or the possibility of Soviet membership in NATO. To this, Pearson responds that in such a case, the organs of the United Nations could be used for European security. Collection: The View from India
