UN General Assembly
1959

27. At one of his Press conferences the President of the United States expressed his readiness to conduct realistic negotiations with the Soviet Union concerning a reasonable and mutually guaranteed plan for general disarmament or for disarmament covering particular types of weapons, and to make a real beginning in settling the problems ,of a divided Germany and to help in other ways to reduce tension throughout the world. May I express the hope that my exchange of views with President Eisenhower will be fruitful? 28. We belong to those who hope that the exchange of visits between the leading statesmen of the United States and the USSR and the forthcoming meetings and conversations will be a direct contribution to the ending of the "cold war" provided, of course, that there is a desire on both sides to achieve that aim. That is how we regard our visit to the United States of America and the forthcoming visit of President Eisenhower to the Soviet Union.
