“A friend of all nations,” but …
• Politburo, 1993“In international relations, [our policy] ‘to be friends of all nations in the world community’ is designed to take advantage of shared interests in concrete issues and concrete policy areas with other nations…For the sake of our mission to develop socialism and defend our fatherland, we place friends in different categories, with some closer and others far. By their nature, our long-term allies are the socialist forces (or countries), the communist and worker parties, and movements for national independence and revolutionary and progressive causes.”
