Article Abstract:

French President Mitterrand hopes to schedule talks with Soviet leaders this year.

The most likely reasons for Mitterrand's trip to Moscow are analyzed. They include the French position that the Soviets must be involved in a Middle East settlement and the expansion of French exports to Russia.
