1985: Superpowers aim for 'safer world'
The Geneva summit has ended in optimism but with no agreement on the "Star Wars" space defence system.
Both United States President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev spoke of the world being a "safer place" at the end of their two-day meeting in Switzerland.
The two men broke with convention and met together without advisers in discussions President Reagan dubbed the "fireside summit".
The negotiations have resulted in the Geneva Accord, which commits the two countries to:
* speeding up arms talks
* working towards the abolition of chemical weapons
* a new commitment to human rights
New rapport
It is the first time the world's superpowers have met for six years and both countries have pledged to convene again in Washington and Moscow.
A news blackout placed on the proceedings was finally lifted when the leaders spoke at the closing ceremony and at separate news conferences afterwards.
Mr Reagan has remained firm in his refusal to stop research in the "necessary defence" of the Star Wars programme, despite the Soviet president saying the door should be "firmly shut" on weapons in space.
But both leaders were optimistic a new rapport between the old enemies had been reached.
"I came to Geneva to seek a fresh start in relations between the United States and the Soviet Union - and we have done this," President Reagan said.
And Mr Gorbachev told reporters at a news conference they should move away from confrontation.
"I would be so bold as to state that despite the fact there is as much weaponry as before, the world is nevertheless a safer place," he said.

1991 - freddie mercury rip
1991: Giant of rock dies
Freddie Mercury has died aged 45, just one day after he publicly announced he was HIV positive.
The lead singer for rock group Queen died quietly at his home in west London of bronchio-pneumonia, brought on by Aids, his publicist said.
The flamboyant star is thought to have had the disease for two years, but he continued to make music and the decline in his health was only rarely glimpsed.
Mercury was born Farookh Bulsara in Zanzibar in 1946 and spent most of his childhood in India before his family settled in England in 1964. That year he enrolled in art school.
Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, Brian May and Mike Grose formed Queen in 1970.
Regarded by fans and critics alike as a consummate showman, Mercury was openly bisexual and enjoyed a colourful rock-star lifestyle.
Tributes from all over the world have been pouring in for the man who stole the show at Live Aid and wrote ground-breaking hits like Bohemian Rhapsody - which was number one in the UK for nine weeks.
Music critic Paul Gambaccini praised Mercury for his huge contribution to hard rock music.
"He gave a form which was pretty staid and sour, a great personality," he said.
The director of an Aids education charity, Dr Patrick Dixon, told the BBC that Mercury's greatest gift to his fans was admitting he was suffering from the disease.
"His hope was no doubt that through his openness many people throughout the world would see that Aids is a real illness - that it's killing people every day," said Dr Dixon.

1963: John F Kennedy is laid to rest
1963: John F Kennedy is laid to rest
The funeral of the assassinated President, John F Kennedy, has taken place in Washington.
An estimated 800,000 Americans lined the streets to watch the coffin's procession from the Capitol, where the president's body had lain in state since yesterday.
The crowd stood in silence, punctuated only by the sound of weeping, as the funeral procession made its way towards St Matthew's Cathedral in central Washington.
The coffin, draped with the Stars and Stripes, lay on a gun carriage drawn by six grey horses. A black riderless horse pranced along behind.
Distinguished mourners
Mr Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, and her two children, three-year-old John Kennedy junior, and five-year-old Caroline, rode behind in a black car, accompanied by his brothers, Robert and Edward.
Then came the long procession of guests, representing every continent in the world in one of the most distinguished gathering of foreign dignitaries ever assembled in the history of the United States.
They included, for Britain, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prime Minister, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, and the Leader of the Opposition, Harold Wilson.
President de Gaulle of France was among them, as was President de Valera of Ireland, Chancellor Erhard of West Germany, and the Ethiopian Emperor, Haile Selassie.
Also among the mourners, in a poignant recognition of the dead president's efforts to foster peace around the world, was the Soviet first deputy Prime Minister, Anastas Mikoyan, representing Nikolai Khrushchev.
A child's salute
The requiem mass at St Matthew's was led by Cardinal Cushing of Boston.
It included a reading of the entire inaugural address, delivered by John F Kennedy in January 1961, with perhaps his most famous words: "Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
As the coffin left the church after the ceremony, three-year-old John Kennedy Junior was seen to step forward for a moment and put his hand to his forehead in what appeared to be a childish salute.
The president was buried in Arlington Cemetery to a 21-gun salute and three musket volleys.
As a bugle sounded the Last Post, the remains of John F Kennedy were lowered into the grave.
The time was 2034 GMT, and the short but momentous era of America's youngest elected president was over.

1994: Blazing liner abandoned off east Africa
Almost 1,000 people have been forced to abandon a luxury cruise ship in the Indian Ocean after it caught fire.
The Achille Lauro - which made headlines in 1985 when it was hijacked by Palestinian guerrillas - was sailing 50 miles off the Somali coast when the fire started in one of the cabins.
Two people died and eight were injured during the transfer of passengers from life rafts to a waiting tanker, according to Coastguard officials.
Flames are licking halfway up the vessel
Tanker captain Dimitrios Skapinakis
Starlauro, the ship's Naples-based owners, said it had not established the cause of the blaze but confirmed it did not suspect foul play.
Crew battled with the flames for almost seven hours as passengers - many of whom had paid £2,500 for the trip - gathered on deck.
The captain gave the order to abandon ship at 0500 local time (0200 GMT) after the fire began to burn out of control.
Panamanian registered tanker Hawaiian King was the first of a dozen ships which answered the Achille Lauro's dawn SOS call and rescued most of the passengers.
As night fell, most of the survivors were recovering on the tanker, which had been supplied with extra food by the US Navy cruiser Gettysburg.
It is expected they will now be taken to the Kenyan port, Mombasa, or the Seychelles, which would have been the liner's next port of call.
Dimitrios Skapinakis - captain of another tanker involved in the rescue operation - told reporters he thought the ailing 24,000 ton ship would sink within the next 12 hours.
"The Achille Lauro is listing by at least 40 degrees and you can still see smoke and flames - the passenger decks on the stern side are burning and flames are licking halfway up the vessel," he said.
