to the Baltic. In this we, Soviet people, see an important
achievement in the implementation of the Stalin foreign
policy, which aims at strengthening friendship with all
neighbouring states and consolidating general peace.
^Permit me to express the conviction that in democratic
Hungary toe this Treaty will be received with satisfaction
and an understanding of its historic significance.
On behalf of the Soviet Government, I congratulate you,
Mr. President, and you, Mr. Prime Minister, on the signing
of the Soviet-Hungarian Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation
and Mutual Assistance.
May the alliance and friendship between the Soviet
Union and the Hungarian Republic flourish and grow
stronger!
