MANILA — The Soviet Union held out the prospect today of a unilateral pullout from Vietnam’s Cam Ranh Bay, dropping demands for a matching U.S. withdrawal from Subic and Clark bases in the Philippines.
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze, on a 24-hour visit to Manila, also pledged that Moscow would not provide support for communist insurgents in the Philippines and announced the setting up of a committee to boost bilateral trade. Philippine President Corazon Aquino hailed the Soviet attempt to reduce global tensions at a luncheon for Shevardnadze.
