This policy, which we have always followed, has already been apparent in our friendship and fruitful cooperation with the United States, the United Kingdom, France and many other countries in all parts of the world. It is illustrated by our participation in the settlement of the Trieste question, long felt to be a source of danger for Europe, at great cost to ourselves. Other examples are the active part we have taken in organizing a broad system of co-operation in the Balkans with Greece and Turkey, and our efforts to help found and to join in a wider system of European co-operation. 87. A recent expression of this policy was the great improvement in our relations with the Soviet Union, and also with Bulgaria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Albania. It is now generally agreed that this improvement contributed in large measure to the removal of one of the sources of tension in Europe, replacing it by a constructive co-operation based on principles of equality and mutual respect.
