Regarding the Results of the Visit of Mikhail Gorbachev to India

This document reports on the visit by Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to India in 1986. The report recounts an ever-deepening relationship between India and the Soviet Union. One of the main reasons for the Indian position is the strong support for Pakistan by the US, the delivery of modern weaponry to this country together with concerns that Pakistan will soon develop nuclear weapons. Gandhi also accuses Pakistan of training Sikh terrorists on its territory.

The aim is to establish a long-term special relationship with India based on common principles in the foreign arena and close collaboration in all other fields.
