Gorbachev proposed countering US military expansion in Asia by constructing a new security system for the continent, along the lines of the European security system, creating a zone of peace in the Indian Ocean. 13 It was an energetic and ambitious conversation, very characteristic of early Gorbachev policy in the€ Third World. Gorbachev’s arguments were quite anti-American, and 26╇╇ S. Savranskaya sounded like a call for bringing India closer to the Soviet side of the Cold War, and building a separate regional security system.
The change was not immediate, as Gorbachev himself was learning and changing his own views of the Third World in the process. And there were also political constraints on him, just as there were in other spheres of policy, so he had to move gradually, looking over his shoulder. In 1986, the old cadres still dominated the Central Committee, and Gorbachev had to be careful not to look as if he was abandoning Third World allies. He was especially sensitive to such charges about Cuba, Vietnam and Angola.
Central America was seen as especially important both strategically and politically – strong leftist movements right at the back door of the US. 10 From the start, India became one of the most important countries for Gorbachev. He envisioned a strong partnership with India based on a commonality of problems and aspirations. He saw an overriding need for the two countries to ensure peaceful conditions for internal modernization, which would not be undermined by the drain of an arms race. ”11 India held a special appeal as the leader of Non-Aligned Movement, as the country with a strong tradition of good friendly relations with the Soviet Union.
