Extract from minutes of the 316th meeting of the WEU Council held at ministerial level (Rome, 4–5 April 1967)

Text
At the 316th meeting of the Council of Western European Union (WEU), held at ministerial level on 4 and 5 April 1967 in Rome, the delegations discuss the development of East–West relations. British Foreign Secretary George Brown and the General Secretary of the French Foreign Ministry, Hervé Alphand, consider that Western policy towards the Eastern bloc should not be allowed to lead to any relaxation of Western countries solidarity. Hervé Alphand emphasises France’s continued efforts to achieve a policy of détente, entente and cooperation with regard to the countries of Eastern Europe. George Brown notes the British Government’s intention to negotiate a treaty of friendship and peaceful cooperation with the Soviet Union and points out that a conference on European security could be useful as long as it is properly prepared. WEU seems to be an appropriate forum for bilateral talks on such a conference, provided the governments maintain close contact with each other.
