Description:
In his analytical evaluation of the third Political Consultative Committee (PPC) meeting held in 1960 in Moscow, Vojtech Mastny suggests that the meeting was convened following the 1959 discussions between the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev and US President Dwight Eisenhower regarding the German question and the reduction of armed forces. The issues of disarmament and the Soviet policy of détente were not enthusiastically supported by Warsaw Pact members and Asian observers at this meeting. Mastny argues that the speech by Chinese delegate Kang Sheng marked the spillover of the Sino-Soviet dispute into the public realm. Mastny further notes that the negotiations on disarmament, supported by a PCC resolution, did not elicit the US interest Khrushchev had expected.
