The Malvinas issue is putting “UN to test” on disputes among its members
“It takes two to tango” was played in Bangkok Argentine ambassador Jorge Argüello said that “when we talk about Malvinas, we’re talking about the oldest sovereignty dispute of modern times. And Malvinas is putting United Nations to test for solving dispute among countries”.
The Argentine ambassador to United Nations is currently in Asia where he gave a conference on the Falklands/Malvinas dispute as a special guest of Thailand’s Strategic Studies Institute belonging to the University of Chulalongkorn in Bangkok.
Among the many Thai officials, diplomats, academics and students present at the conference was Medha Promthet, Bangkok’s nominated ambassador to Buenos Aires who is expected in the Argentine capital in the coming weeks.
The conference, “The Argentine position in the South Atlantic: the Malvinas issue” is in the framework of the diplomatic offensive from the Argentine legation before United Nations which has been identified as “It takes two to Tango”.
Argüello recently gave similar conferences in New Delhi at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, in Havana, Cuba’s International Relations Superior Institute and in a think-tank located in Berlin, Germany.
According to Argentine diplomacy the conferences are oriented to keep the international community updated on the Malvinas issue as well as helping “to make viable the implementation of UN Resolution 2065”, which calls both sides of the conflict, Argentina and the UK to resume bilateral sovereignty negotiations over the Falklands/Malvinas and other disputed South Atlantic Islands.
