Abstract:
Evolution of Communist Positions concerning Negotiations [North Vietnam has traditionally discussed terms for settlement rather than for
negotiations and has been firm on insistence
of US withdrawal of troops, observance of the
1954 Geneva Accords, and settlement of
differences by the South Vietnamese and the
Liberation Front with the Liberation Front
playing a decisive role. The People's
Republic of China has been adamant against
negotiations and has attacked the USSR for
promoting talks. The USSR has taken a
noncommittal stand on negotiations since the
first US bombing strikes on North Vietnam and
has unofficially stated that no negotiations
can take place until US air strikes end].
