Argentina thanks Indonesia for support on Falklands issue and blasts multilateral organizations
President Cristina Fernandez thanked Indonesia for the “permanent support” extended to Argentina in the “Malvinas cause” and reiterated that Argentina is only asking for the UK to respect and abide the United Nations resolution, but at the same time attacked multilateral organizations such as the UN and WTO for “favouring the great powers”.
“I want to thank Indonesia and its people for the permanent support for the Malvinas cause” said Cristina Fernandez addressing her peer Susilo Yudhovono during her message following their private meeting at the presidential palace in Jakarta.
The Argentine president on a Far East tour to promote trade and investments, agreed with the Indonesia leader Yudhovono to increase trade, promote cooperation in agriculture, tourism, bio-energy, transport, sports, health and education among others.
“We are only asking the UK to respect UN resolutions”, which call on both sides to begin a dialogue on the Falklands/Malvinas sovereignty.
“We don’t pretend to impose any criteria, just simply demand compliance with the current rules of the game and this means abiding by UN resolutions” said the Argentine president at the end of her message at the Credential Hall of the Government Palace.
However the Argentine president questioned and described as “absolutely non equitable and unfair” the way resolutions are complied whether they involve a strong power or a developing country absent from the global scenario.
The UN, the World Trade Organization and other multilateral bodies whenever “a resolution favours a great power or developed country it must be respected by all countries, but when it favours countries that are not protagonists they are ignored, they are violated systematically and even exposed to ongoing provocations as we are submitted by the UK”.
Cristina Fernandez added that Malvinas is not only a national cause, “but also a global cause” because the relation of force to impose “is a method which belongs to the last century which has proven not to give results to humanity”
That is why it is essential to “reformulate the rules of the game for the multilateral organizations”, which Cristina Fernandez underlined is a shared claim for Argentina and Indonesia.
“We have very similar points of view regarding the need to reformulate rules of the game for the multilateral organizations, particularly those referred to trade, and those that also deal with political multilateral bodies”.
Cristina Fernandez is travelling with a delegation of two hundred business people and the next call is Vietnam. Bilateral trade with Indonesia is in the range of almost two billion dollars. Indonesia provides products for industry and general merchandise valued at 1.5bn while Argentina exports over 400 million dollars mainly oil seeds and cereals.

I'll crack the jokes around here!
More verbal diarrhoea from la Kretina!
Do you reckon CFK will come back from Indonesia with a T-shirt that says “I've been to Bali too” written on it?
Could any Malvinista on here please explain what sort of tangible support Indonesia will give CFK over the Falklands? Or is is more like my family's support for the Arsenal FC? We've never bought a ticket for a match, any official merchandise or been members of the club. But we support them!
I sure did pick the wrong time to go to the UK. It's bloody freezing. Don't like my chances of getting back out of here on time according to the forecasts either.

Have a google - I can't find any that do.
This is why people don't trust her or her country.
It seems the only way she can get people to support her .
And Joe, let's just hope her souvenir was Bali belly!
“following their private meeting” - warning - “never have a private meeting with her”
We never actually hear these statements direct from these countries leaders, it is always Cristina's fanciful interpretation of her meetings with them.
You should be ok if you are flying from Stanstead. They were the only London airport operating in similar conditions last time whilst Heathrow and Gatwick just became incompetent and got snowed in.
Back to the piece...
“We don’t pretend to impose any criteria, just simply demand''
She's right, Argentina doesn't pretend, it's just the first thing in the Temporary Provisions of the Argentine Constitution.

Oh, and there was that word DEMAND mentioned again
.. and la Campora, Quebracho, Front for Fail, Vatayon Militante... etc

It makes us all wonder why they are even allowed to be in the UN anyways.
Better just to ignore them.
Tbf some of them did hang about to fight ghurkhas which is more than could be said of argentina
Ind: really? they have new kit?
CFK: I guess so, why do you ask?
Ind: oh, no reason...
CFK: so, you support our cause?
Ind: (lost in thought) Hmm? Oh, yeah sure, whatever...
The next day...
Ind: Hi Phil, how are things:
UK defence minister Phillip Hammond: all's well, want to buy some military kit, some training from our troops and conduct some joint naval excercises for a giggle?
Ind: you bet your arse i do!
Meanwhile...
CFK: I wonder if Top Shop Jakarta is still open...? That reminds me, I need to get Junior a new Mu-mu.

WELL WHY DID YOUR FACKING LETTER IN SEVERAL BRITISH NEWSPAPERS STATE SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT????
ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER FAIRY TALE IN THE LIFE OF SS HITLER CRISTINA KIRCHNER
Argentine spring???
all foreign companies in argentina should at least look to its neighbours, as a plan B, after all argentinas investment,transparency and security rating amongst other ratings has taken a massive nose dive in the past 12 months a very risky enviroment for foreign investment in argentina.
And gladly its going to get worse for her government!
SELF-DETERMINATION!
Great Link.
I just hope she doesn't try anything stupid, before they boot her out.
shut up you silly british asshole!

About 250,000 dead in Papua and a third of the population of East Timor killed. No doubt the Argentine military are eager to learn from the indonesians.
...not at throwing civiliams out of aeroplanes, though.
@16 Just as a thought. Shouldn't a member that fails to comply with a mandatory Security Council resolution be expelled? For ever?
@19 Terrific article. Thanks for the link. Will the dumb arsies, including malvinistas, listen? Doubtful. That is good! Just a little while and they won't exist. But let's not be silly and send British aid. At least, not until the population is down to a million! Or is that too many?
@23 What's wrong with the SAS? Why isn't she dead?
@33 Try to understand. Five nations - China, France, Russia, UK, USA - that suffered from the nazis and their slant-eyed pals. Five nations that put their existence on the line. Five nations that fought through, some more than others - delete France, Russia and USA - and won! Note that France was mostly a Nazi colony. Russia stole many countries until the Nazis attacked in 1941. USA couldn't be bothered until attacked by Japan. Pretty pointless until 1942. When WW2 was half won. Who put its entire wealth, its very existence on the line? Couldn't be understood by arsieland. No guts.
Important words: We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,
WE haven't changed. A simple bit of advice for arsieland: If we have nothing else, we will send the people of Britain. Armed with knives, forks and maybe even spoons. We will use the knives to cut your throats, the forks to stab holes in you and the spoons to scoop out your eyes. We will turn you into slime. We will smash your skulls under our boots. Live or die. Your choice! Please choose to die! Killing argies is a mission.
That last paragraph is way out of line.
I trust that when in Vietnam she will offer reciprocal support to them in their claim to the Spratlys.
The great world-scale agencies of stability are not favouring the 'great powers', as CFK suggests.
They are simply 'dis-favouring' renegade states who do not play by the rules of the game. The world simply cannot operate as an integrated whole if there are too many rogue states.
A frequent - or even an occasional - collapse of world-stability will confer on many societies catastrophies of biblical proportions. Think in terms of the Horses of the Apocalypse - Conquest, War, Famine, and Death.
We knew she could not visit at least one country without crying and thanking them for their support
Who cares about who supports argentina,,
You need them to back you up and take them,
Not promise you caviar that turns to jam.
They are British, like it or lump it.
.
Another victory for Argentina.
...and the Falklands Islanders will hang to theirs from '82
or no dice,
this is her agreements
her way, or no way
wahh wahh .
Unfortunately, declaring war against Hitler after his defeat doesn't really cut it as the major sacrifice necessary. And one may wonder indeed what Argentina is doing in the UN at all, since it clearly rejects two of the most fundamental principles of the organisation, namely the peaceful resolution of disputes, and the right of self-determination.
But then again, standards at the UN aren't all that high. It's not like the IMF or the WTO, for example, where you're expected to tell the truth and respect the rules you've signed up to.
Argentina thanks Indonesia for support on Falklands issue,
SEE ABOVE,
GREAT BRITAIN SAYS.
We would like to thank Indonesia to buying [ 3 ] frigates from Britain
www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/2013/01/16/386--Indonesia-to-buy-frigates-from-Britain-.html
that’s the value of true friends,
not CFK puppets.
[ long live great britain.]
TRBOA. The Rat Bitch of you know where!
I still think they need to set up a flying school there. It's not like there is any real danger of hitting anything (high buildings, other planes)
And the Argies run for the hills.
They sob and weep,
Whilst living with sheep,
and sing baa baa in their sleep.
The lion is awake
And roars with pride
And growls at little bo peep
The argie tremble rattle an roll,
And all end up in a heap…
just a sleepy poem.lol
CFK. “Will you support us over our sovereignty claim to the Malvina's?”
Yudhovono: “Er..The Mavlina's?” Aside to an aide in a whisper, “Where are the Malvina's?”
Aide in a whisper back. “Don't know, we can't find it on any map. I think it's a made-up place.”
Yudhovono to CFK. “Of course we support you over the Malvina's.” CFK squeals with joy missing the last part of his sentence...“but we do support Britain over the Falkland Islands...” :)
In what way does that support the Argie claim? If anything it just says ”we hope you both talk but whatever you decide should be in the islanders' interests”, no?
