Spain-U.S. are friends, but ...
NZPA-Reuter Madrid President Reagan and the Spanish Prime Minister, Mr Felipe Gonzalez, held talks on Central America, N.A.T.0., East-West affairs and bilateral relations yesterday but acknowledged that they had failed to agree on some points. In statements after a three-hour meeting over lunch, both referred to differences of view. Before the meeting at the Moncloa Government Palace, Mr Reagan had branded Nicaragua a “Communist tyranny” in a remark that highlighted his disagreement with Mr Gonzalez on Central America.
“My country will go on maintaining friendly and cordial relations with the United States despite differences in appreciation,” Mr Gonzalez said. “Where there were differences I think we both profited from the particular perspectives we bring to the challenges we face,” Mr Reagan said. The meeting on the second day of Mr Reagan’s 41-hour visit to Spain followed an announcement that the Nicaraguan leader, Mr Daniel Ortega Saavedra, would meet Mr Gonzalez in Madrid at the week-end on his way home from an East European tour.
