Argentina’s new authorities have called on the United Kingdom to return the Falkland Islands (Malvinas).
This is stated in a statement on the website of the Latin American country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, APA reports.
According to the ministry, London has committed an “act of use of force in peacetime” that is contrary to international law and has never been approved by the Argentine government.
Buenos Aires also said it was ready to resume bilateral talks on the issue. He emphasised that despite the dispute over the ownership of the islands, he wanted to maintain a “mature relationship” with Britain on matters of mutual interest.
Argentina claims that the islands, some 600 kilometres from its coastline in the South Atlantic, were illegally seized by Britain, which believes it has territorial claims dating back to 1765.
