Fiji anticipates support for the C24 resolution on Falklands/Malvinas
Fiji will continue to be part of the consensus in support of the UN Decolonization Committee resolution regarding the Falklands/Malvinas dispute, anticipated the Pacific islands Foreign Affairs minister following a meeting with the non-resident Argentine Ambassador to Fiji, H.E. Pedro Villagra Delgado.
According to reports in the local media, Fiji Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ratu Inoke Kubuabola held talks on his country’s support for the Malvinas issue with the non resident Argentine ambassador.
“I would like to reassure you that our position remains the same and that we will continue to be a part of the consensus in support of the resolution,” Ratu Inoke told H.E Delgado.
Kubuabola said that the resolution of the Falklands/Malvinas will come before the UN Committee of 24 at its meeting on 8 June, adding that Fiji’s support for the decolonisation remains.
He added that Fiji has always been fully supportive of the rights towards self-determination and the decolonisation process and would also like to see that both parties arrive at an amicable solution.
In addition, Ratu Inoke said that he had just returned from the Non-Aligned Movement Ministerial meeting in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt where the same issue of decolonisation was raised for French Polynesia.
Fiji’s proposal for the inalienable rights of the people of French Polynesia (Tahiti) to self-determination was adopted and reflected in the Outcome Document of the meeting.
At this meeting, there were also discussions on bilateral corporation between the two countries, especially in agriculture, marine, fisheries and forests, educational, and trade and investment. Sports like football could also be looked into.
“In areas of trade, a development cooperation agreement would be drawn to explore opportunities where we could work together with Argentina,” Mr Kubuabola added.

you should know better,
The fact, she never did, and never will, is merely a technicality to CFK..Lol
Still, i guess argentina can rely on a few decaying old dictators for slightly more supportive disinterest, so that will probably be enough for the spineless nationlist fuckwits that make up argentina's voting population
The Queen won't be happy
When are you going to wake up from your complacent snooze and stop allowing these Argentinian fascists to get away with rounding up support (based on fictions and falsehoods) from those that Britain is closest too; ie Commonwealth countries ? Was the Fijian High Commissioner at the Jubilee celebrations ? Are there over 500 Fijian soldiers in the British Army ? How much is the annual UK aid bill to Fiji ?
Mr Hague get a grip !
Pffffffffssshhhh.... PLaaaffff
What was that?
The empire tumbling down....
Hahaha
UK isolated... the world wants colonialism to stop.
Thank you!

Yes, that make sense, amicable solution toward self-determination for the islanders. Nothing here for Argentina other than to except this.
. Sorry guys but thats what he has said.
Vinaka Fiji.
Either a resolution from the UNSC (good luck with that) or a verdict in your favour from the ICJ (good luck with that)
A support for self-determination and an amicable solution.
That's the British position....not the Argtard one.
“In areas of trade, a development cooperation agreement would be drawn to explore opportunities where we could work together with Argentina,” Mr Kubuabola added.
Fiji - Bought for 40 pieces of silver?
Would recommend everyone to sign it.
Is there one to stop funding Fiji?
Fiji is saying it supports self determination, and yet this is seen as support for Argentina. How does that work ? Presumably they are saying one thing but meen another. Are all the C24 committee there to ensure that self determination never takes place ? China will certainly never allow self determination (Tibet/Taiwan). How does the International community not only condone this but seems to encourage it. UN = rest of the world against the Anglosphere and we participate trying to go by the rules while everyone else is bending them to their own needs. Madness, thank God for the Royal Navy.
15 “You need massive support from powerful places not marginal support from beautiful places”
Well Cristina is both beautiful and powerful =)
The rest of the waffle was just to keep the Argentines quiet.
l would think that Fiji supports us.
Hope so as l've met some very nice Fijians.
@24 B_K,
Yes mate, we know.
Your eyes cannot see for stars..............
Do you walk in a daze as l once did?
Does your chest feel hot & tight?
Have you got 4 or 5 cups of undrunk coffee on the table, without remembering how it could be so?
Been there, done that (not being sarcastic♥).
Your comments aren't counted because you are not thinking straight.
You are in love.♥♥♥♥
But thank you for your support in another thread.
The difficult bit is “beautiful” ..............and I really don't want to upset you even though you are probably as British as a kangaroo but ...... the woman is pug ugly. Now that shouldn't detract from the rest of what you think about her and lets face it Sir Winston Churchill wasn't exactly a looker either but cmon face facts when God gave that woman a nose he spoilt a perfectly good arse.
Thanks Fiji for your show of support to The Falkland islanders
The lastest news from BA was that last night thousands of Argentines gathered outside the Presidential palace banging pots and pans to complain about corruption, double-dip inflation and the ban on purchasing foreign currency.
The demonstartions are likely to continue.
Is this the beginning of the end of CFK?...
Maybe they are supporting Argentinas rights of self determination, as they have self determined that they can steal the Islands. And decolonisation is to remove the existing inhabitants. Any occupation by Argentines would not of course be a colony as they are not a colonial power unlike the British.
Just a thought, and I have seen more bizarre logic eminating from BA.
She is not raising the standards of the poor here she is keeping them in a constant state of government reliance so she can count on their mass vote to further the kirchiner royal family dinesty. This women is far more destructive to the people of this great country than the british troops staioned in the falklands and by the looks of the protest last night in Bs As Argentine is waking up to that fact. Marches on the Cassa Rossada here have a historical habit of leading to the over throwing of governments.
So let’s say the Falklands are a colony of Britain. Let’s just pretend that we don’t elect our own leaders, or that we don’t set our own taxes and set our own budget. So colonialism has been ended in the Falklands, and this is done by making the Falklands a colony of Argentina…
How can Marcos, IM, and all the other Argentines believe that ending (so-called) British colonialism in the Falklands by making the Falklands a colony of Argentina? Can't you Argentines grasp this very basic logic? Can't you comprehend that the transfer of (so-called) British colonialism to Argentine colonial, is still colonialism!
Please Argentines, give me an answer on this. I would love to know how you try and rationalise this.

Cannot be done. The malvinistas won't answer you, they never answer simple questions. All they can do is divert attention from the sense of the threads. Logic doesn't have any affect on them.
They also cannot get their tiny brains around the fact that a BOT is not a colony, and saddest of all they have no wish to learn from their errors.
They are, basically, true peronists, brainless, easily led by any demagogue, and utterly un-patriotic.
A sad lot.
'He added that Fiji has always been fully supportive of the rights towards self-determination and the decolonisation process '
1/- Several changes in the Falkland Islands Constitution have led towards increased self-government and more autonomy. This is in line with the UN's stand on making dependent territories independent, ie the de-colonialisation process. In other words, the UK is abiding by UN objectives. The Argentines are not.
2/- The Fijians mention their support for self-determination and independence. Marcos, as Argentina want to colonise the Falkland Islands, how can this statement from Fiji support Argentina, which rejects democracy and self-determination?
However if Fiji wants to act against the Falkland Islanders. who want the same rights that the Fijians had, then lets cut off aid to them and perhaps then Argentina's 'vibrant' economy can supply them with aid.
@10 Then stop!
@24 Are you practising being an unsaveable moron? If Cristina the Hag “ruled” the world, she'd last less than 6 months before someone put a bullet through her head. I'd happily do it but the Royal Marines snipers are better.
For the record, “Cristina” is an impotent, power-hungry slag with a big mouth. Perhaps you'd like to tell us how she got such a big mouth!
@10 'the world wants colonialism to stop'.
Except for Argentina who want to be a colonial power whilst the rest of the world moves away from colonialism.

Hi - we meet again! Thanks for your support.
Its not what you say, but how it is said, and interpreted, perhaps he was slightly confused,
4 coups in 20 years,
An army of around 3,000 and she keeps at least 1,000 permanently over seas,
For a small islands she does ok,
But they did have a go at the British, for being silly at withdrawing from the pacific arena,
A very good point,,,,
But we think he meant well,
Even if he upset the wrong ones,
But hey, look on the bright side,
The sun never raises over Argentina, let alone set like jelly,
Just a wobberly thought.
.
This committee seems to be peopled with the most undemocratic countries in the world, the independent arbitor is bloody Syrian for gods sake.
Probably!!!or not but now many country know about the true history that Malvinas Islands are Argentina and stop the bloody lies..
51@
Fiji is in pacific and include the the Pacific islands with tonga, samoa, cook islands, etc.
There are no malvinas, you are obviously talking about the Falklands. As for lies, what lies, yours.
You invaded, you were defeated, now, behave like normal people and put it behind you, grow up and get on with life, because frankly, your an embaressment on the world stage.

Dear Port Stanley: You are absolutely right, now a lot of countries have learnt the true history of the Falkland Islands, which has absolutely nothing to do with the downright lies that the peronist governments of Argentina have been spewing out for the last 60 odd years.
I signed the petition, as did Mr H. The Argentine government should continue to self destruct at its own expense. We were very pleased to see in the drop down address menu 'Falkland Islands (British Overseas Territory)' instead of the usual hybrid version.
Yes. Well fuck off then, nice knowing you. Take your shitty politics with you!!

Anyone reading this outside of Argentina sign THE FORM NOW.
- Venezuela's satellite states
- Bankrupt African nations
- A communist dictatorship
And now, Fiji.... Where are you flying next? Nauru? Samoa? Vanuatu? These are the nations kids never hear about in school, because they have NO impact on the world whatsoever. Getting an endorsement from Fiji is like an endorsement from Paris Hilton. Nobody cares.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink eh? LOL Typical bunch of corrupt clowns like the Argentine government.
Fine by me Mr Figi, self determination is thier right.
I too would like to see both parties arrive at an amicible solution...
So drop the false claim Argtards.
It is good to be back in the islands though. Even if it is for a short time only. With Fiji on the scene we are well and truly fucked.
4 coups in 20 years and they still have clowns like this in government? Fucking hillarious. The country should be kicked out of the commonwealth... oh it is kicked out of the Commonwealth for having an unconstitutional government.

Tin pot nation supporting another Tin pot nation.
You are demonstrating your lack of ability to understand basic English but coming from a supporter of a fascist regime, it is not a surprise that you fail to understand much!
My point was that after 4 coups, they still have an unconstitutional sectarian government dominated by the military. You would have thought they would have learnt. Fiji is a lot like Argentina, only smaller. It is a tin pot nation supported by a tin pot regime, held up by a lot of vicious nationalist’s baying for blood.

Your demented yen for Kretina is blinding you to reality, the KaKa government is NOT left wing, it is totaly RIGHT WING, it works on the basis of “Cash 'n Carry”, you pays your money and you get what you pay for, if you haven't any cash you are F*CKED.
Left wing? Are you sure about that statement. Peronism has developed to be neither left or right wing, it has developed to encompases the entire politcal spectrum. this is what makes it higher dangerous as in Argentina (im not sure if you have ever visited or actualy lived here) to challenge the peronists is seen by many as a direct challenge on the country, you only need to look at the way the Peronist government controls the press (typical a facist policy). Let me make this very clear the peronist government is not intrested in helping the poor of Argetnina it is intrested in keeping them continually relient on government handouts so that they can secure a powerfull pool of voters who do not dare vote against peronism for the fear of losing what little they have, ( a fera installed in them by peronists). If you dont believe me look at the relashionship between Facism in Europe (Nazi Germany, Mousallinas (appologise for the spelling) Italy and Francos Spain and Juan Domingo Peron. Peros himself was a supporter of one single strong leader and clamped down on anyone who opposed him (i believe this is the deffintion of facismum). I would suggest you go back a little further in history to truelly understand what Peronisms actually is and how it was and is now a dangerous concept using smoke and mirrors to distract the population while it helps itself to the nations money (it is not a coincidence that the gold reserve was depleted by Juan and Eva Peron).
As far as politics and economics is concerned peronism has no way of dealing with them because it is neither a political or an economic system it has no answer to these types of problem.
All peronist leaders from Juan Domingo to Kretina have only one aim in view, to steal as much as possible from the country and the people before they have to get “political asylum” in some friendly country, at the moment one of the Bolivarian states (Bolivia, Ecaudor, Venezuela) or possibly Angola, Iran or North Korea.
The peronist system depends totally on the fear of the poor, for this reason the system will never improve their condition, it is the capital on which peronism depends.
If, one day an honest politician, like maybe Julio Cobos, were to improve the lot of the indigent population of Argentina, that would be the end of peronism.
God willing it will happen one day.
