They have recently unleashed a broad campaign against the socialist countries and against national liberation and other progressive movements in order to justify the policy of confrontation and the arms race, trampling on the independence of various States, inter­ fering in their internal affairs, complicating the conditions of their economic development and acting against the process of detente. That policy is contrary to the legitimate and universally recognized rights of all human beings and all peoples. especially their right to life. The lessons of history show that anti-communism has always been part of the attack upon the democratic freedoms and rights of peoples, of the policy of aggression and war. Attempts to organize a new campaign against communism will result in the escalation of the international tension that threatens the interests of all countries. No one will succeed in undermining the socialist syst'!m by mis­ information and slander. Socialism has achieved important suc­ cesses in the economy and culture, in strengthening equality and friendship between nations, and in creating favourable conditions for the blossoming of the human personality; it ensures the partici­ pation of the broad popular masses in the management of the coun­ try and the constant development of democracy. One of the greatest successes of socialism has been the creation of a new type of international relations based upon voluntary co­ operation on an equal footing and upon the international solidarity of sovereign socialist States. The participants in the meeting express­ ing the will of their communist parties and their peoples, reaffirm their resolve to continue strengthening the cohesion of the socialist countries, developing and promoting political, economic and cul­ tural co-operation, and uniting their efforts in the struggle for peace and progress.
