Gromyko ill
NZPA-Reuter Moscow The Soviet President,, Mr Andrei Gromyko, was absent from an important Communist Party meeting yesterday, fuelling speculation that he had not recovered from an illness that Soviet officials said he had developed last week. Mr Gromyko, aged 76, was the only Moscowbased member of the ruling Politburo not on the stage to hear the Foreign Minister, Mr Eduard Shevardnadze, make a speech at the Kremlin’s Palace of Congresses marking the 116th anniversary of Lenin’s birth. Mr Gromyko was last seen in public during a televised visit to the industrial city of Sverdlovsk some two weeks ago.
