Very urgent

 

TO THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

 

Tonight had talks with General [Albino] Da Silva, Goulart’s special envoy. He is enthusiastic advocate of Fidel [Castro]. F. neither offered, nor accepted any of suggestions. Until now, only empty phrases. Further details continued.

 

If [one is] to believe to Brazilian and [UN aide Maj.-Gen. Indar Jit] Rikhye, the first talks of U Thant were disappointing. Fidel is very stubborn. Doesn’t accept anything.

 

Tomorrow they will continue talks. Further details continued.

 

Vidaković

 

Vidaković tells the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that Fidel Castro is very stubborn and that most of the negotiation talks that are taking place are just empty words.
