The most significant point in his speech is the invitation to General Gorbachev to "tear down this wall" which acts as a separating wall for East and West Germany. He reiterates "Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

Added to this, he also talks about the arms race, referencing to the Soviet's "deadly SS-20 nuclear missiles, capable of striking every capital in Europe". He then continues how, with the united efforts of the countries, they were able to "reach the possibility, not merely of limiting the growth of arms, but of eliminating, for the first time, an entire class of nuclear weapons from the face of the earth".
