imperialism in the contemporary era and the unity of action
by communists in this struggle. A discussion of these
questions presupposes, of course, a Marxist-Leninist
analysis of the international situation and a definition
of the problems confronting the communist movement. All
questions must be examined and resolved at the Conference
from the point of view of furthering the solidarity of
the worldwide communist movement on the basis of the
principles of Marxism-Leninism and the unity of actions
of all anti-imperialist forces. Thus, in the opinion of
the CC/CPSU, the way will be paved step by step to restoration
of the ideological unity of our movement.
40. The question of the attitude toward the documents
approved at the Moscow Conferences of 1957 and 1960 was
also dealt with at the Meeting. The view of our Party on
this point is clear. We were, and we remain, true to the
general line of the international communist movement as delineated
in these documents. This line has been confirmed
by experience. But this does not mean that the intervening
years have not contributed any corrections, or that
it is necessary to cling to every letter of the documents
which were approved at that time.
41. Our Party proceeds from the assumption that
although the document resulting from the new Conference
will have the nature of political conclusions, and not of
a theoretical program, nevertheless, the ideological direction
of the communist movement and its fidelity to the
teachings of Marxism-Leninism should be clearly expressed
in it.
42. Many delegations posed the question of inviting
the League of Communists of Yugoslavia to the Conference.
No one at the Meeting objected to having such an invitation
sent in the name of the Consultative Meeting. Judging by
recent utterances of Comrade Tito and other functionaries
of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, they do not
exclude the possibility of participation in the forthcoming
Conference; however, they continue to insist that the formulations
on Yugoslavia contained in the Declaration of 1960
be collectively repudiated.
43. Evaluating the results of the Budapest Meeting,
it can be said that it was a solid step in energizing the
activity of fraternal parties in strengthening the solidarity
of the international communist movement.
