49. The Polish Government and the Polish people fully appreciate the importance — more, the indispensability — of normal, good, extensive relations between the Polish and the German peoples. And, what is even more important, we have given in this respect clear proof not only of our desire, but also of our determination, by establishing close neighbourly relations and broad co-operation with one of the two existing German States, our neighbour, the German Democratic Republic. We contend that this is a very important and valuable contribution on the part of our two States, the Polish People's Republic and the German Democratic Republic, to the consolidation of peace. 50. Poland is also prepared to establish normal relations with the German Federal Republic once its policy is based on new, realistic foundations. We have repeatedly formulated what premises we deem indispensable in that connexion. First of all: the recognition of the existence of two German States, the renunciation by the German Federal Republic of territorial claims, and the renunciation by it of aspirations to exercise control over nuclear weapons.
