dated October 26, 1954: Nehru on China talks

Prime Minister Nehru bade farewell to Peking on October 26 and, in a special broadcast to the Chinese people, said that he was carrying back to India memories of their abounding friendship and hospitality which were unforgettable. In a statement to the press, he said, "It is my belief that my visit brings the two countries nearer as well as the cause of world peace. I hope the contacts between the two countries will grow in many ways." He clarified that the London and New York reports of differences between Mr. Chou En-lai and himself in the course of their talks were wholly without foundation. Though their basic approach might differ on some matters, there had been no differences in the talks and he was happy to say that there had been a large measure of agreement. Answering questions at a press conference, Mr. Nehru restated his faith in the five principles of coexistence, adding that the Geneva Conference was a good example of the way of dealing with difficult problems. A British pressman asked whether he discussed Formosa with the Chinese. Mr. Nehru said, "Yes. The question was referred to repeatedly, but India has no problem since she recognises only one Government of China." Later, Mr. Nehru said there had been no opportunity for India to do anything regarding Formosa at present. Answering a French journalist, Mr. Nehru said he had the friendliest talks with Dr. Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi. Mr. Nehru will be leaving later for Nanking, Shanghai, Hanchow, Canton and then for Indo-China.
