Gorbachev WOOS Italian party men

NZPA-Reuter ; ? Moscow.. The Soviet leader, Mi-, khail Gorbachev, has extended an olive branch to the Italian Communist Party, at odds with the.:, Soviet party since the;. 19705, saying that differences of opinion were natural and even valuable.

He was speaking at a Kremlin dinner yesterday in;, honour of the visiting Italian Communist Party leader, Alessandro Natta, with whom he has had two rounds of talks.

Mr Gorbachev said differences between the two parties remained in evaluating various problems, events and facts. i “This is natural and makes fraternal dialogue between the Soviet and Italian Communist parties, between Communist parties in general, all the more valuable and necessary.”

Left-wing forces should not cultivate their differences but take them into account when working together for such goals as disarmament. ..

The Italian Communists, at the forefront of the socalled Eurocommunist movement, have emphasised their independence from Moscow and criticised Soviet policies in Afghanistan and Poland.

Mr Natta's visit is the first by an Italian Communist leader since 1978. He has received red carpet treatment in Moscow.

Diplomats said it was rare for a Western politician, even a Communist, to see the Soviet leader oh two consecutive days and to be honoured with such a dinner speech.
