[edit] Role in defusing Sino-Soviet tension in 1969
After the Sino-Soviet border clash on March 2nd, 1969, tensions were high and Alexey Kosygin visited Beijing on his way back from attending Ho Chi Minh's funeral in Hanoi. He was able to reach a political solution and tensions cooled without further major border incidents. His efforts may have averted a major border war between the Soviet Union and the PRC, but there is no mention of this in the article. -- Adeptitus 00:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
