Peking call to Andropov
NZPA Peking China, making its first response to conciliatory remarks by the new Soviet leader, Yuri Andropov, yesterday called on Moscow to make new efforts to eliminate obstacles hindering the normalisation of their relations. Mr Andropov told a Communist Party central committee meeting on Monday that the Kremlin would continue efforts to improve relations with China, declaring that it was time to overcome
“the inertia of prejudices" between the two Communist Powers. “We have noted the statement by Yuri Andropov on Sino-Soviet relations,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a two-sentence response to questions by foreign correspondents. "We hope to see the new Soviet leadership make new efforts in eliminating the obstacles hindering the normalisation of relations between the two countries,” it said.
