Third Meeting

[edit]

I am not sure about this sentence in the lead: "It was their second meeting following a meeting that included then President Ronald Reagan, in New York in December 1988." As a matter of fact, Bush and Gorbachev were both present during the Washington Summit in 1987. Does "meeting" here mean that it was the second time Bush and Gorbachev "negotiated"? Either way, clarification is needed. --Olegkagan (talk) 08:54, 20 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

[edit]

"No agreements were signed at the Malta Summit. Its main purpose was to provide the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, with an opportunity to discuss the rapid changes taking place in Europe with the lifting of the Iron Curtain, which had separated the Eastern Bloc from Western Europe for four decades. The summit is viewed by some observers as the official end of the Cold War. At a minimum, it marked the lessening of tensions that were the hallmark of that era and signaled a major turning point in East-West relations. During the summit, President Bush expressed his support for Gorbachev's perestroika initiative and other reforms in the Communist bloc. "

No signed agreements officially brought the Cold War into existence. Surely relations between Reagan and Gorbachev had already begun the lessening of tensions between East And West? This extract reads as an opinion piece. Did the Premiers declare the Cold War at an end in 1989 or not?
