89. The Arab peoples themselves appreciate that the Soviet Union desires peaceful coexistence and friendly co-operation with all Arab countries. Unlike the United States, the United Kingdom and France, the Soviet Union consistently advocates the strengthening of peace and security in the Near East and the Middle East and does not interfere in the domestic affairs of the sovereign States of that region. It is sympathetic to the national liberation movement among the Arab peoples. 90.
