Vizita lui Nicolae Ceaușescu în R.P. Polonă din 1984 și impactul ei asupra relațiilor româno-polone
Nicolae Ceausescuʼs visit to the Polish Republic in 1984 and its impact on the Romanian-Polish relations

Summary/Abstract: This article continues previous investigations of Romanian-Polish relations after Jaruzelski visit to Bucharest in June 1982. Following a year of cold relations, due to Soviet-American tensions, in 1984, contacts resumed between Warsaw and Bucharest. These contacts at the level of delegations were preparing the next five-year plan – 1986-1990 – and, at the same time, they were setting the ground for Nicolae Ceausescu’s visit to Poland. Even if this visit seems to be a response to the one made by Jaruzelski two years ago, in reality, it was more than that. Nicolae Ceausescu’s visit to Warsaw looked more like a larger strategy promoted by the Romanian leadership to meet its energy needs with the help of the Soviet bloc and to reduce dependence on the West. At the same time, this article explores the strategy of the Romanian foreign policy after Madrid Reunion and how it tried to reconcile its relations with the socialist countries, especially the Soviet Union.
