Havana, February 14. - The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, today reaffirmed his country's commitment to nuclear disarmament, on the occasion of commemorating the 58th anniversary of the Treaty of Tlatelolco.
We reiterate our firm commitment to nuclear disarmament and the preservation of our region free of these weapons, in correspondence with the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, the Cuban Foreign Minister wrote on his profile on the social network X.
The Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean - known as the Treaty of Tlatelolco, Mexico - was ratified by all countries in the region in 1967.
Its purpose is to prohibit the testing, use, manufacture, acquisition or placement of this type of weapons in this part of the planet, and it is considered an important precedent for the proclamation, in January 2014, of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace.
According to the preamble of the document, Latin American and Caribbean countries seek to “contribute to ending the arms race, especially nuclear weapons, and to the consolidation of a world at peace, based on the sovereign equality of States, mutual respect and good neighborliness.” (Text and Photo: PL)
