Refutation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union,General assembly.
In April 1974, a group of mysterious figures appeared in front of the United Nations Headquarters building in New York. They are a Chinese diplomatic delegation that is being followed by the world's major *** because their leader *** is about to deliver a speech at the United Nations.
**With its wisdom and courage, it has won praise from many countries around the world. However, on the sidelines of the convention, a small episode occurred. Gromyko, the chief of the Soviet Union, mockingly said that he was short, but he responded without humility or arrogance, successfully resolved the embarrassment, and maintained the international image of New China.
Behind all this is the complexity and delicacy of the international situation in the mid-seventies of the last century.
In October 1971, the legitimate seat of the People's Republic of China in the United Nations was restored, and the whole country rejoiced! This means that New China needs to actively participate in international affairs, and its position in international diplomacy is becoming increasingly important.
Therefore, when the United Nations Headquarters decided in 1974 to convene the sixth special session of the United Nations on April 9, China, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, had to send a delegation of sufficient weight to participate.
** Originally supposed to attend this diplomatic event in person, but was unable to travel due to deteriorating health. ** colleagues advised him not to participate and asked him if he had anyone to replace him.
**It is recommended to let *** go, because he is decisive and measured, and is suitable for diplomacy. In addition, he also suggested that Vice Minister Qiao Guanhua and Li Qiang of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation go together, and they can solve practical problems.
**Although sick, he still cares about foreign affairs.
Wang Hairong frowned, staring at *** on the bed with worry in his eyes, he saw her thoughts, barely supported his body, and signaled to her that there was no need to worry too much about her condition.
On the occasion of separation, ** also instructed Wang Hairong to compile this list into a document and submit it to *** for review. Wang Hairong nodded again and again, and then retreated lightly.
It didn't take long for ** to approve the report. ** Comrade is about to participate in the special session of the United Nations in his capacity as head of our diplomatic delegation.
Wang Hairong, first from left) Although it is a foregone conclusion that China's high-level leaders will make a public appearance at the UN General Assembly, detailed discussions are still needed on the specific agenda arrangement, the duration of the event, and the draft of the speech at the UN General Assembly.
At that time, some comrades suggested that the "Three Worlds Theory" should be added to the speech to show that we resolutely oppose the hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union and to enhance China's influence on international topics.
** Comrade agreed with this suggestion and personally wrote a speech for discussion. However, in the course of the discussions, the comrades of the delegation disagreed on one of the phrases: "China will one day become a superpower."
Although Comrade *** wanted to remind everyone to stay sober, in the diplomatic environment at that time, this may cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Qiao Guanhua: "I don't think it matters. After all, we can't do what China will become in the future. If it gets better, that's for the best; If it also becomes a superpower, then the people of the whole world should stand up against it together! ”
Lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly. On April 2, a few days before his departure, his speech to the UN General Assembly and the schedule of activities during his participation in the conference were presented to the working meeting of the Politburo.
After everyone's voting, the decision was finalized. In the early morning of April 6, ** and others left Beijing for New York by special plane.
To everyone's surprise, the premier made an exception and led important comrades from the party, government, and military departments in Beijing to the airport to see off the delegation. Seeing the eyes of the weak *** on the airport, he was determined to spread the voice of New China to every corner of the world!
On the afternoon of April 10, 1974, ** and his entourage arrived in front of the United Nations Headquarters building by special car. The moment they got out of the car, it immediately attracted the shots of the world's best countries.
Out of politeness, ** smiled, accepted everyone's attention, and slowly walked into the United Nations Headquarters building. On the podium at the United Nations headquarters, he showed the demeanor of the leader of a great power.
He was steady and composed, propped his hands on the podium, and said thoughtfully: "From the perspective of changes in international relations, there are three worlds and three aspects in the world. ”
**'s remarks immediately caused a sensation, and there was a lot of discussion in the audience. You must know that the United Nations at that time was the arena of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and it took great courage and determination to put forward a theory different from that of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Then, the theory of the "three worlds" was introduced in detail, the first world is the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, the second world is developed countries like Western Europe and Japan, and the third world is poor and backward countries like China.
**After introducing the theory, he added that China is still a developing third world country. This point of view of his made the representatives of the United States and the USSR nervous, because they believed that China might want to become the boss of the third world countries.
However, ** has clearly anticipated this situation and stressed that although China has huge development potential and may become a second or first world country economically, the Chinese will never dominate the world and will only stand with the vast number of developing countries.
**'s words aroused warm applause, indicating that the purpose of the Chinese diplomatic delegation's visit to the United Nations has been basically achieved.
, a leader who values economic development. In one of his speeches, he made several proposals: "We believe that the voices of developing countries should be included in the formulation or revision of the world economic order and rules.
Developed countries cannot have a monopoly on the right to speak! His remarks not only won the rights and interests of third world countries, but also established a good diplomatic image. Independence, fairness and justice are universally recognized "iron rules", which are not influenced by the country's diplomatic claims and ideologies.
**'s speech and image have caused a strong response around the world, whether it is admiration for his courage and wisdom, or the ridicule and provocation of the West**, it cannot prevent him from using his wisdom to solve difficult problems.
In the face of rudeness, no anger and no fear*** After attending the special session of the General Assembly, diplomats from other countries happily walked into the lounge. Diplomats from many developing countries expressed their gratitude for their righteous words and shook hands with them one by one.
At this time, Gromyko, the chief of the Soviet Union, walked in with diplomats from some countries. The Soviet Union was immersed in the dream of great power hegemony, and the whole ** was arrogant and looked down on people.
However, Gromyko didn't seem to see *** swaggering past him. In the face of the rudeness of the Soviet Union, ** did not get angry, talked to the diplomat next to him on his own, and had no intention of going to Gromyko to talk.
Gromyko pretended to have a lively conversation with someone else, and peeked at the location of *** with his peripheral vision. After determining that *** would not look for him, Gromyko decided to personally create some "little trouble" for ***.
**) Hello, Comrade Gromyko. "* stood there in a steady and confident manner, did not walk over to him, did not smile politely, only raised his hand gently.
To others, it looked like Gromyko had come to talk to the Chinese delegation. At the end of the first round, Gromyko not only did not gain face here, but became the laughing stock of everyone on the field.
**Comrade, we have just listened to your speech, and your statement is really impressive. Gromy Kopi walked up to *** with a smile and stared at *** with a wary gaze, but what he said was still those high-sounding diplomatic rhetoric.
** with Qiao Guanhua at the United Nations Headquarters)** expressed his views in a matter-of-fact manner, telling socialist countries that they cannot promote "hegemonism".
These words made Gromyko's face become more and more ugly, and he said mockingly to ***: "Comrade *, although your speech just now is very good, it is a pity that you are too short. ”
Gromyko's words surprised everyone present. However, ** was a brilliant politician who was not bluffed by Gromyko's petty tricks.
Instead, he slowly walked up to Gromyko and wrapped his two hands around Gromyko's body as if hugging him. Then *** stretched out his right hand and slapped Gromyco's ass with a slap.
This move shocked everyone present and also showed the world *** firm stance and extraordinary leadership.
** With a gentle slap, he subtly rhetorically questioned Gromyko, suggesting the absurdity of his remarks. He is well aware of the demeanor of a diplomat, and although he is angry, he shows the responsibility of a leader of a great country with political wisdom.
Everyone laughed, and the embarrassed Gromyko could only be speechless, because he could not blame this seemingly normal "act of diplomatic etiquette". *'s actions have once again proved that no matter how much the outside world quibbles, the Chinese delegation is always respected.
** His performance at the United Nations General Assembly was impressive, he led the Chinese delegation to successfully promote the adoption of the Declaration on the Establishment of a New International Economic Order and the Program of Action, which was the first time that China's diplomatic proposal was officially adopted by the United Nations, and it was undoubtedly a "booster" for the new China that had just returned to the United Nations.
Although he has always been elegant, he expressed his appreciation for Deng Gong's "offensive diplomacy" and made a detailed special report on his trip to the United Nations.
Immediately after returning to China, the comrade received the attention of the leaders, and he even talked to him in person to learn in detail about the results of this diplomatic activity. After learning that the United Nations had finally adopted two documents, ** showed a rare smile.
Comrade Xiaoping, you have done a very good job in this task, and I want to praise you in front of you! Even though *** seemed relaxed, *** noticed the change in his expression.
**Hold ***'s hand tightly and say emotionally: "Prime Minister, your body is so sick, and you went to the airport to pick us up in person, you worked too hard!" *smiled, and didn't answer ***'s question directly.
In his opinion, his body is far inferior to the diplomatic career of our country. His actions are not only a support for others, but also a special entrustment.
Being small is not a defect, the sky falls, and tall people will stand on top. * Always sees the small man as his strength, not his flaw, which shows his confidence and courage.
It has been proven time and again that despite his short stature, he has a keen sense of insight and excellent intelligence. This trait has allowed him to consistently outperform many self-righteous "tall men" in the international political arena.
Appearance undoubtedly affects people's first impression of him, but it cannot represent the whole of a person. What really shapes a person's character and abilities is the inner world, which is the part that is least easily observed.
Some communists in history, whose appearance is mediocre, are far better than those handsome and handsome Wang Jingwei, this is the best example. A person's body will fade with the passage of time, but if his spirit is great enough, then his stories and legends will live on in the land forever.
This fact does not need any special proof, because history and the people have already given the best answer. No matter what his appearance is, as long as he cares about the country and the people, he will be exalted by the people and forever remembered.
