During Echeverria's visit in Paris, President Georges Pompidou announced that France would associate itself with the Treaty of Tlatelolco, a pact signed in 1967 by 21 Caribbean and Latin American nations (not including Cuba) to bar all nuclear weapons in the region from Mexico to Tierra del Fuego...
