Memorandum of Discussion between First Secretary of PZPR (Władysław Gomułka), Polish Prime Minister (Józef Cyrankiewicz), First Secretary of PCR (Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej) and Romanian Prime Minister (Ion Gheorghe Maurer)

18 Jan 1965
Description: In this meeting between high-level Romanian and Polish party representatives in Warsaw, at the request of the Romanian party, pending issues related to the forthcoming meeting of the Political Consultative Committee (PCC) are discussed. The Romanian side expresses irritation that a draft treaty on nuclear non-proliferation was handed in by East Germany only days before the start of the conference. The Romanian representatives insist that East German leader Walter Ulbricht be contacted and persuaded to either withdraw the draft or not discuss it at the meeting. The discussion also addresses Albania's refusal to take part in the PCC's proceedings, while at the same time refusing to withdraw from the Warsaw Pact.
