It is cool how Laos played such an important role in world affairs. It is so sad how we ended up. What a mess! The USA, Russia and China ought to combine efforts to set Laos free and protect her from the neighboring countries (Vietnam and Thailand in particular, Cambodia and Burma hasn't been a threat for ages). Laos doesn't really care where the help comes from. Instead of helping, countries are trying to devour Laos. Why? Must be some kind of a curse.

I've been looking for a video with Gromyko for almost a year. Does anyone know if there is another video with him?

I accidentally met Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko outside of the BOQ at the Argentia Naval Air Station in Argentia Newfoundland the day before this meeting in the video. I was only 14 years old and he just happened to step out of the building right when I was walking by and he called me over to talk to him. And by the way, he did not need a translator at all, in this video he spoke with an accent, when I talked to him he spoke PERFECT English! He was a really nice guy and very friendly.

Never heard Gromyko speaking before - and in English! Fascinating. Thanks for posting.
