Schmidbauer, Bernd 1939-

Kohl and the Presidents from the three Baltic states have a shared concern about the slow withdrawal of "Soviet" troops in the region. Kohl is asked to put more pressure on Yeltsin. All three Presidents see security and troop withdrawals as an essential precondition for the success of economic reforms in their countries.

Schmidbauer and Fallahian review possibilities for increasing bilateral cooperation in the intelligence field. Schmidtbauer does not see any chances to asssist Iran in the completion of the Bushehr nuclear power plant. He  requests Iran's assistance in the release of German hostages in Lebanon.

Kohl and Rafsanjani discuss Germany's role in the stabiliza5ion of the CIS countries and the Balkans. Rafsanjani expresses Iran's desire for the completion of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in a "good atmosphere" without pressure pledging that Iran was not planning any military use.

Schmidbauer and Vaezi search for new overtures in bilateral cooperation. They discuss the problem of German hostages in Libanon and attacks on Iran’s embassy in Bonn.
