| Summary/Abstract |
ANDREI GROMYKO, an outstanding politician and diplomat, used to say: "Better 10 years of talks than a day of war." I often heard him say this - a saying that has now effectively become an aphorism. He regarded bilateral and multilateral talks as an important diplomatic tool that should be used in national interests. At the same time, Gromyko stressed that talks should be conducted by relying on economic power, not from a position of strength.
