Consfătuirile de la Moscova ale partidelor comuniste şi muncitoreşti, noiembrie 1957
From the History of the Moscow Meetings of Communist and Worker Parties, November 1957

Summary/Abstract: When the Cominform was dissolved in April 1956, the CPSU began looking for new and more efficient ways of collaboration between the communist parties. The idea of holding a general meeting of these parties came up in November 1954, right after the defeat of the Hungarian revolution, but began materializing in February 1957, when the Chinese Communist Party was approached and asked to become involved in organizing such a meeting. The actual meeting, held in Moscow in November 1957, and the compromise the Soviets and the Chinese achieved showed that the international communist movement had, at the moment, overcome the difficulties generated by the CPSU’s 20th Congress. The Soviet Union’s position as leader of the communist camp was reconfirmed but the Moscow meeting also marked China’s rise to the rank of a power having the right of co-decision on the issue of the communist world.
