 | | Only a year earlier, at a conference held in Montevideo, in neighbouring Uruguay, there was resistance, often passionately expressed, by leading Brazilian and Argentine nuclear figures to a number of proposals for reciprocal inspections, international safeguards arrangements, a test ban, and other measures to avert a regional nuclear arms race. |
 | | At the same time, there was the scent of change in the air as it became apparent from conference discussions that the two nations now found it in their mutual interest to pursue the difficult process of ending 150 years of mutual suspicion. |
