203. Indeed encouraging is the determination of the great Powers to do their utmost to prevent conflicts or situations which would serve to increase international tensions from arising. If this process of detente will promote, as we hope and believe, general conditions in which all countries can live in peace and security without outside interference in their internal affairs, our hopes will have been well founded. We also hope that in this process the great Powers will find it possible to establish their relations on a permanent basis of mutual trust, in spite of ideological and structural differences.
