Extract

Korea: Geneva Conference, April–June, 1954: At the Berlin meeting of the foreign ministers of the United States, France, United Kingdom and Soviet Union in January–February 1954, it was decided to hold a conference to seek a peaceful settlement of the Korean question and to restore peace in Indochina. The states participating in the discussions of a settlement for Korea were to be the United States, France, United Kingdom, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Republic of Korea, People's Democratic Republic of Korea, thirteen other countries which had participated in the Korean hostilities under United Nations command, and the Chinese People's Republic. At the insistence of Mr. Dulles (United States), a provision was added to the effect that the extension to any state of an invitation to the conference would not imply diplomatic recognition of that state in any case where it had not already been accorded.
