I was at a dinner with Cde. I. I. Pozdnyak at the guest house before leaving for the airfield. Kim Il Sung's mood was very good and several times he expressed satisfaction at the meeting and conversation with Cde. N. S. Khrushchev. During the dinner Cde. F. R. Kozlov came to the guest house, who said that Cde. N. S. Khrushchev was satisfied with the conversation with Kim Il Sung.

During the return from Moscow to Pyongyang Kim Il Sung repeatedly expressed his great satisfaction and gratitude for the conversation in the Kremlin, especially with Cde. N. S. Khrushchev.

Kim Il Sung spoke with great indignation about the dishonest attitude toward him by the Chinese unbefitting Party members [nepartiynoe], especially by Mao Zedong, and their underhanded activity against him saying, "how could they even think that I could go the way of Imre Nagy[?]". Kim Il Sung was indignant at the incorrect position and attacks on the CPSU CC by the Chinese leaders.

Embassy Counsellor V. I. Pelishenko returned from leave on the same aircraft.
