It aimed to address tensions following the Soviet invasion of Hungary and to discuss European security and coexistence. Although it did not result in immediate agreements, the conference marked an important effort for dialogue between superpowers, highlighting both their differences and the desire to manage Cold War conflicts peacefully. It set the stage for subsequent negotiations and improved understanding during a tense period.
