第一次接见朝鲜代表团时的讲话
（一九五八年十一月二十五日）
越搞越熟了。对于一个党，一个民族，相互之间的认识都要有一个过程。个人与个人之间也不是一下子就认识清楚的。
一个民族，一个党，两个民族，两个党，兄弟国家有十二个党，十二个民族，相互之间的认识是有一个过程的。十月革命四十周年，十二国、六十四国共产党工人党会议．对于我们之间的认识。对于十二国之间的认识进了一步．
我们对你们的认识有一个过程，也同你们认识我们有一个过程一样。
看问题要看本质，看主流。马克思主义告诉我们看问题要看本质，看路线。就是它在国内是不是搞社会主义，在国际上是不是反对帝国主义。在社会主义阵营内是不是讲国际主义。这三点就构成一条路线。
中国共产党也是反帝的、社会主义的、国际主义的党。其它社会主义国家也是。这些方面表现了马克思主义路线的本质，这些都是表现。例如反对帝国主义这就是表现。是不是坚决，可以作个比较。像铁托是不是坚决？他的东西，我看三条都缺少。反帝国主义。他是不怎么反的。总是讲帝国主义好。
Mao emphasizes that the 12 fraternal socialist countries need to develop mutual understanding and resolutely follow the socialist road.
