日内瓦会议:新中国多边外交的初步尝试

日内瓦会议作为新中国以大国身份参加的第一次国际会议 ,也是新中国开展多边外交实践的初步尝试 ,其成就主要体现为推动印度支那和平的恢复、搭建中美沟通的桥梁和改进中英关系。尽管由于冷战格局和“一边倒”外交战略的制约和影响 ,日内瓦会议作为多边外交实践的作用和功能无法和今天意义上的多边外交相提并论 ,但对于当时的中国来说 ,仍然不失为一次比较成功的多边外交实践

Geneva Conference:An Initial Attempt of New China at the Multilateral Diplomacy

The first international conference New China took part in as a big power was the Geneva Conference where it made its initial attempt at the multilateral diplomacy. The achievements scored in the multilateral diplomatic activities included the promotion of the restoration of peace in Indo-China, construction of a bridge of dialogue between China and the United States and improvement of Sino-British relations. Due to the restraints of the Cold War pattern and China's one-sidedness of diplomatic strategy, the multilateral diplomacy at the Geneva conference could not be placed on a par with that in the present sense in its role and functions, but it was still a successful multilateral diplomatic practice for China at that time.
