Little Hope For Peace Mission
(N.Z.P.A. Reuter —Copyright) MOSCOW, July 15. Mrs Indira Gandhi, the Prime Minister of India, today began her final round of talks with the Soviet Prime Minister, Mr Kosygin, but scant hope remained that her Vietnam peace mission would be successful.
She is expected to make a last-ditch attempt to get Mr Kosygin’s backing for her call urging the reconvening of the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indo-China, but her task appeared hopeless viewed in the context of a speech she made yesterday. Mr Kosygin ignored her proposal when speaking before an Indo-Soviet friendship rally at the Kremlin after Mrs Gandhi had declared that there should be an end to all bombing of North Vietnam and that the involved parties should take the Vietnam issue to the conference table.
Informed sources read Mr Kosygin’s speech as a virtual Soviet rejection of Mrs Gandhi's plan.
They said he had made his position clear in his discussion with Mrs Gandhi: the Soviet Union could not act without a request for peace talks from Hanoi.
