...morning, the talk was chiefly of what the final communiqué would say. The foreign ministers met and deadlocked. As the time for the afternoon summit meeting approached, dark storm clouds crept in from the north over the Jura Mountains. Bulganin rattled off a version of the old Russian proposal for a world disarmament conference, which the Russians first made two months ago. It was so familiar that some delegates thought they could even understand the Russian words...
Sixth Day. In a final series of meetings, it took the Big Four nearly all day Saturday to agree on the final wording. At last, while Ike's plane waited on the airfield, they approved the communiqué, which instructed the foreign ministers to consider all the proposals mentioned at a new meeting in October and referred the disarmament proposals to the U.N. subcommittee meeting in late August. Minutes later, Ike was at the airport...
Only a day or two before Nehru's arrival, the Yugoslav government concluded a three-day conference with ambassadors of the West, designed to reassure them that he had not been taken into the Russian camp.

Though Nehru might boast that the Russians had agreed not to interfere in other countries, words mean different things in different mouths...
...communiqué acclaimed the Bandung conference and repeated the five principles of "peaceful coexistence" worked out by Nehru and Red China's Premier Chou Enlai, with one slight amendment. The principle of "noninterference in each other's internal affairs" was made more explicit by the addition of the phrase "for any reason of economic, political or ideological character." The communique supported the Soviet plan for a complete ban of atomic and thermonuclear weapons. But the key passage was the declaration that "the legitimate rights of the Chinese People's Republic in regard to Formosa" should be satisfied...
