rapprochement

 
     
  An overcoming or putting aside of previous difficulties in diplomatic relations (sense 2), a reconciliation and growth in intimacy. The term was commonly employed to describe the improvement in relations – at first cautious and slow, then dramatic and rapid – between the United States and the People\'s Republic of China at the beginning of the 1970s: ‘the Sino-American rapprochement’.
