UN General Assembly
1955

3. A number of events in recent times have determined this very important turn towards the easing of international tension and the strengthening of trust between States. By far the most significant of them was the Conference of Heads of Government of the four Powers at Geneva. The very fact of the meeting of Heads of Government of the four Powers — even more the spirit of mutual understanding which characterized that conference and the effort there made to co-operate and to create the conditions for peaceful settlement of international problems — in itself constitutes an important step towards the consolidation of peace and the ending of the cold war. The Conference's adoption of directives to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs was, as Mr. Bulganin, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, pointed out, the result of a search for generally acceptable solutions, in the course of which the interests of all those taking part in the negotiations were taken into account. It may be hoped that in carrying out the directives of Heads of Government the Ministers of Foreign' Affairs will make every effort to find solutions to the questions discussed at Geneva which will prove, acceptable to all interested parties.
