Khrushchev and Marshal Amer discuss regional developments in Iraq and Syria, the Kurdish question, anti-imperialist struggles, and the UAR’s economic nationalization efforts. Khrushchev criticizes Arab nationalism and the repression of communists, while Amer requests a review of Soviet arms pricing and emphasizes the UAR's commitment to socialism and independence.

They discusses the current state of the affairs in the Levant and Arab world, including plots against Khalid Al-Azm himself and several other regional leaders. Then, Al-Azm thanks Khrushchev for the Soviet government's support to the Syrian people and delegation members explain how the National Front has been acting to prevent the incursion of imperialist forces.

October 1959 conversation between Mao Zedong and the Soviet diplomat and sinologist S.F. Antonov, in which Mao attempted to reassure the Soviets that China would not provoke war with the United States or with its Asian neighbors. In his conversation with Antonov, Mao attempts to lessen the impact of China’s displeasure with Soviet policies. He tries hard to show his agreement with Moscow on every issue—the United States, Taiwan, India, Tibet, disarmament.
