dated February 16, 1956: Khrushchev reports

Mr. Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet Communist Party First Secretary, told the party Congress at the Kremlin on February 14 that Soviet-American relations should be based on the five Bandung principles of peaceful co-existence. The future policy of the Soviet Union would be to strengthen relations with India, Burma, Afghanistan, Egypt, Yugoslavia and other States "which stand on positions of peace." Mr. Khrushchev was reporting to the Congress - the first held since the death of Stalin nearly three years ago - as First Secretary of the party. The five co-existence principles, formulated by Prime Minister Nehru and Chinese Premier Chou En-lai, were accepted by the Bandung conference last year of 29 Asian and African nations.
