British Failure to Move Soviets on Middle East Peace Plan
British Foreign Secretary George Brown said he failed to persuade the Kremlin to back a four power peace move in the Middle East. He noted no Soviet decision on Charles de Gaulle's proposal for Russia to join the United States Britain and France in quenching the conflict. Brown met Kosygin and Gromyko for over 10 hours during crisis talks and flights home to London. The Kremlin promised resolute support to the Arab cause, Brown called that endorsement of the Nasserite line, while Britain seeks to stop the crisis and pursue a long term settlement and highlighted the Egyptian blockade of the Aqaba Gulf as vital to maritime Britain.
