Kennedy Summit

The Kennedy Summit refers to the 1963 conference where President John F. Kennedy called for international cooperation to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote disarmament. Held in the context of Cold War tensions, it aimed to encourage dialogue among nuclear and non-nuclear states. The summit led to the signing of the Limited Test Ban Treaty, which prohibited nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space, and underwater. This marked a significant step in global efforts to control nuclear arms and reduce the risk of nuclear conflict, shaping international relations for decades to come.
