Chinese, Soviets Will Resume Talks April 11
Representatives of China and the Soviet Union will meet in Moscow on April 11 for the 10th round of talks on the normalization of relations between the two countries, the New China News Agency said Thursday.
Meetings held alternately in Moscow and Beijing since 1979 were given a new impetus late last year after a conciliatory speech by Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev in July that appeared to trigger a thaw in relations.
Since then the two Communist nations have signed their biggest trade deal since their ideological split in the early 1960s and have resumed talks, which had been stalled for nine years, on disputed border territory.
