What was the name given to Henry Kissinger's softly-softly approach to Cold War tensions - I've found references to realpolitik and detente, but neither really seems to fit the description of Softly-softly! Any suggestions gratefully received.

rapprochement ?
detente?
Realpolitik just means realism, not being swayed by ideology. Detente was the relaxing of tensions later in the cold war. But I'm not too sure he had a softly-softly approach. This was the man who backed a coup in Chile and launched the secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos. Nothing very soft about that. Detente may be your besst answer.
If you check back on old newspaper reports I think you'll find that rapprochement is correct.
