110. As far as it is concerned, the Government of the People's Republic of Romania is convinced that the conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany, with the participation of all other interested States, would be a major contribution to a relaxation of international tension in Europe. The conclusion of a peace treaty with Germany would help to improve relations between States. It would finally liquidate the sequels of the Second World War, arrest militarism and revanchism in West Germany, and pave the way for a peaceful and democratic development for the entire German people. 111. If we are to tackle realistically the solution of a peace treaty with Germany, we must recognize that there are today two German States, the German Democratic Republic and the German Federal Republic. 112. The German Democratic Republic, the first truly democratic and peaceful State in the history of Germany, is steadfastly pursuing a policy in accordance with the national interests of the German people and the interests of world peace and security.
