Answer 1

Explanation:

In recent years, the world witnessed that dialogue has become the norm in U.S.-Soviet relations and has expanded into a wide range of areas, including arms control and disarmament, regional conflicts, human rights, bilateral relations, and global issues. The U.S.-Soviet summit meeting held at Malta in December 1989, in particular, marked a major milestone in development of East-West relations.

At the Malta meeting, the U.S. and the Soviet Union publicly recognized that they stand at the threshold of an entirely new era of their relations and appealed to the world that they would work together to build a new relationship based on dialogue and cooperation, putting an end to the Cold War framework. The United States showed further commitment to supporting perestroika; for instance, President Bush clearly expressed his support for conclusion of a U.S.-Soviet trade agreement and the Soviet Union's joining the GATT as an observer (Note); and he proposed to step up U.S. technical assistance related to statistics, government finance, budget, taxation, stock exchange, anti-monopoly policy, etc.

Then after several preliminary meetings by the Foreign Ministers, the first full-scale U.S.-Soviet summit meeting under the Bush administration was held in Washington D.C. from the end of May to early June in 1990. At the meeting, the two leaders reached agreement in a number of areas, including arms control and disarmament, regional conflicts, economic, scientific and cultural exchanges, and transnational issues, as signified by the signing of a joint statement on the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START), a joint communique on Ethiopia, a U.S.-Soviet trade agreement, a long-term grains agreement, a civil aviation agreement, a joint communique on environmental preservation, and so on. Also, in light of changes in the international situation after the Malta summit, they exchanged views on the European situation, particularly on the reunification of Germany, the Soviet's economic situation, Lithuanian issue, and other regional issues. Overall, the United States and the Soviet Union have been making significant progress in developing their relations which are to be built upon the foundation of dialogue and cooperation established at the Malta summit.
