WASHINGTON — Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev will visit Mexico and several other Latin American countries next year, Mexican officials said today.
The Communist Party general secretary is also expected to visit Argentina, Brazil and possibly Peru and Cuba, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
They said the visit to Mexico will be in “strict reciprocity” for visits to Moscow by two past Mexican presidents, Luis Echeverria and Jose Lopez Portillo.
The arrangements were settled during a visit to Mexico City last month by Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard A. Shevardnadze.
