UK congratulates CFK and reiterates Falklands’ sovereignty is ‘not negotiable’
Argentine re-elected president and her son celebrating in Plaza de Mayo The British government congratulated Argentine President Cristina Fernandez on her re-election and historic victory in Sunday’s polls but it also insisted that the sovereignty of the Falklands is “not negotiable”.
“We congratulate Cristina Fernandez for her re-election as president of Argentina and look forward to work together in a wide range of global issues which affect us such as climate change, against the proliferation of massive destruction arms, human rights and economic development”, according to a spokesperson for the Foreign Office, quoted by international news agencies.
However when asked specifically if the landslide victory of Cristina Fernandez would modify Britain’s position regarding the sovereignty over the Malvinas and other South Atlantic Islands, the spokesperson brushed aside such possibility.
“On the issue of the Falklands (Malvinas) we obviously value are ample relation with Argentina but we do not want any issue related to the Falklands dominates our bilateral relations”, added the Foreign Office.
“Anyhow our position on the Falklands is well known, there will be no sovereignty negotiations until the Islanders so wish. Sovereignty negotiations will only take place if the people of the Falkland Islands making use of their right to self determination so decide”.

The British government states
Oct 24th, 2011 - 04:24 pm 0Anyhow our position on the Falklands is well known, there will be no sovereignty negotiations until the Islanders so wish.
And went on to state how the British and Argentina can be great friends and trading partners,
Helping each other after all that’s what friends are for .
But alas the reply will be vicious insults and envy,
It really shows how the educated gentlemen, tries to help the indoctrinated ruffian, and gets insulted,
But as a civilised country we will continue to try to help these poor unfortunate people,
Even if they are very ungrateful and selfish , and very childish, at the help we try to give,
An interesting thought .
