50. Constant communications and contacts with the fraternal parties are important in the preparation of the forthcoming Conference. The experience in preparing the Budapest Meeting demonstrates that systematic preliminary consultations on a bilateral and multilateral basis are an important condition for the success of an international forum. Much work in the preparation of the Conference falls on the shoulders of our Hungarian friends. For its part, the Central Committee of the CPSU will try to help them in the implementation of this responsible mission.
