...hour after he finished orating, the Cuban chief passed through the doors to the headquarters of the Czechs, the leading arms dealers in the Soviet bloc, and stayed three hours. Next day he had a 40-minute talk with Nkrumah. Meeting Poland's Wladyslaw Gomulka, Castro agreed to exchange ambassadors. He received visits from India's Nehru and from Bulgarian Red Boss Todor Zhivkov, but paid only one call on fellow Latin Americans, attending a Uruguayan reception.
