Summary

A. FRANCE

Protocol on Political Consultations signed by the Governments of France and the Soviet Union, Moscow, 13 October 1970

The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the President of the French Republic,

Confirming the provisions and spirit of the Declaration of 30 June 1966, signed jointly by the President of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet and the President of the French Republic during the visit of General de Gaulle to the Soviet Union,

Inspired by a common desire to contribute towards the maintenance of peace in all parts of the world and conscious of the responsibilities which are borne, in this connection, by the Soviet Union and France as permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

True to the responsibilities which the two states have assumed in Europe as a result of the Second World War,

Striving in keeping with the traditional friendship existing between the two countries and peoples, to extend the special ties established between them since 1966 in the economic, scientific, technological and cultural fields.

And being firmly resolved to give fresh impetus to their political cooperation,

Have agreed on the following:

1. Should situations arise which, in the opinion of the two sides, create a threat to peace or a violation of peace, or which cause international tension, the governments of the USSR and France shall immediately contact each other with the object of concerting their positions on all aspects of those situations and on steps which would make it possible to cope with those situations.
