Premier Salazar and Gen. Franco agreed on an intensification of their political and military collaboration to defend their countries, “within the general framework of Western defense,” against Soviet aggression.
Premier Salazar severely condemned Britain and the United States for not strongly supporting Portugal in the UN when India seized three of its enclaves.
The Portuguese government was exposed to increasing and more threatening protests against continuance of its colonial rule in Africa, both by the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity.
