p If we flexibly apply the realistic tactics Comrade Brezhnev set out in his remarkably meaningful and enthusiastically hailed speech, life itself will soon put an end to the differences.

p As Comrade Brezhnev said, it is necessary:

p 1, Predicate all our practical work mainly on what the Communists of all countries hold in common. Jointly solve the practical problems involved in united action.

p 2, Maximise and expand contacts between fraternal Parties through bilateral, multilateral and regional conferences and through international co- operation in such collective-work forms as international conferences.

p 3, Generalise the Parties’ theoretical work, and on this basis carry forward Marxist-Leninist theory, upholding its principles and fundamental ideas.

p This approach to composing the differences and contradictions, and to a proper understanding of our differences, we believe, is an absolutely correct one, for it proceeds from:

p 1. The international character of the working class. "We are internationalists", Lenin said.

p 2. Unity of Marxism-Leninism as an international theory: the Guadeloupean and the Siberian are inspired by one and the same theory.

p 3. The need for each Party to take into account concrete conditions, uphold the fundamentals of Marxism-Leninism and the general principles of Party activity that follow therefrom.

p Theory can provide only general guiding principles, but the activity of each Party must not impede united action of the entire movement, or run counter to its over-all strategy, or undermine proletarian internationalism.

p This implies flexible application of Marxism-Leninism to the specific conditions of each country on the basis of proper interpretation of concrete historical experience. It implies, also, combating national chauvinism, confusion, divergences, splits and anarchy.

p And so, fidelity to Marxism-Leninism is the basic condition of our solidarity and unity.

p Since March 1965, people have been saying: We are united by much more than divides us.

p Well, the time is ripe for applying Lenin’s sacred behest: March forwcrd firmly holding each other’s hands.

p Forward, then, Comrades!

May united action of the Communist and Workers’ Parties of the world live, strengthen and triumph anew!
