SYND 17 3 80 THE ARRIVAL OF AFGHAN FOREIGN MINISTER DOST IN MOSCOW

(13 Mar 1980) Shah Muhammad Dost, Foreign Minister in the soviet-sponsored Afghan government led by Babrak Karmal, arrives in Moscow for talks with Soviet leaders. The political and military situation in Afghanistan are causing considerable international concern. Western leaders have put forward a number of proposals to end the crisis, and the Soviet military presence, in that country. Their proposals, which included a plan to "neutralise" Afghanistan have, however, not found much favour in the Soviet Union. Mr Dost, during his two days in Moscow discussed "practical questions concerning the temporary stay" of Red Army troops in Afghanistan with his Soviet counterpart. Mr Gromyko, at a luncheon in honour of Mr Dost on March 14, said that the Soviet government would reject any plan for a political settlement in Afghanistan that affected the sovereignty of the Afghan government. He assured his guest that "the cause of the April revolution will triumph." This was a reference to the overthrow of President Mohammed Daud in 1978 by Afghan Communist Leader Nur Mohammed Taraki. Mr. Daud was killed in the coup. Mr Taraki was himself killed when another Communist leader, Hafizullah Amin, took over the presidency in march 1979. Mr Amin was subsequently executed when the present Communist President Babrak Karmal seized power from his party rival in December last year. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko greets Dost at the airport in Moscow.
