Argentinian Official Visits Neighbors To Bolster Falklands Claim

Falklands (Malvinas) Affairs Minister Guillermo Carmona began a tour of neighboring countries on Wednesday to bolster support for his country’s claim to the South Atlantic islands, where Britain and Argentina fought a brief war 40 years ago. Argentina has long sought to restore Falklands sovereignty talks, but that is off the table for Britain as long as the islanders want to remain British.

The official, who will then move on to Uruguay and Chile, said Argentina had won the support of the Group of 77 plus China at the UN decolonization committee, where South Africa first spoke at the last session in favor of the request of Argentina to return to negotiations. “Our diplomatic offensive aims to reposition the Falklands issue as a case of anachronistic colonialism in the 21st century,” he said. Brazil has allowed British Air Force planes to refuel en route to the Falklands this year, accepting Britain’s justification that they are humanitarian flights. For Carmona, Brazil’s support for Argentina’s bid is as solid as ever. “Argentina is asking neighboring countries to apply a restrictive criterion so that flights that are supposed to be humanitarian do not reinforce the British military logistical presence in the Falklands,” he said.
