Kosygin Visited Beijing Amid Border Tensions
Western diplomats in Moscow suggested Soviet Premier Kosygin may have flown to Peking to warn Premier Chou Enlai against further border clashes with China. The diplomats noted the surprise meeting was described as useful but offered no details, while Tass and New China News Agency statements highlighted frank talks and mutual positions. Kosygin’s stop followed Ho Chi Minh’s funeral in Hanoi, and the trip echoed prior Soviet-Chinese tensions as leaders spar over global communist leadership.
