Well done Hugo Swire and the UK Government for engaging with South America. It is great to see that genuine relationships built on trust and confidence in the services we can all offer each other continues to be built upon.

Long may this continue.

Welcomed in most other south American countries ,except
Argentina, who acts like Gollum waiting behind the rock spitting out hatred.

The British have not shown an ounce of interest in talking to Argentina in 30 years. Not one gesture of friendship, so why the hell should we? We don't frankly care if you want to avoid us.

We aren't going away from the Americas, so going around us really won't solve you anything, long term.

Nostrils you are so needy!

“Not one gesture of friendship...”

Get over it. You complain that Argentina doesn't want attention or contacts with other countries and now you complain that you aren't getting enough interest and friendship.

Argentina gets the level of respect and interest that it deserves.

public knowledge, we have always been very interested in talking,
as long as the interests of the islanders are paramount,
seems fair to us..

I was posing a rhetorical question for THE REST OF YOU, who are so obsessed with Argentina joining the international community by paying its debts, recognizing the Falklands, and sitting down to “talk” with the rest of the world about our own EEZ waters, our own rivers, and our own inland territory.
