How very significant that Chile has much stronger ties to the Falklands than Argentina. Commerce, transport, Chilean workers on the islands, not to mention the solid historical links between Punta Arenas and Stanley. And then of course Chile's immensely valuable support in recent years for defeating foreign attempts to usurp the islands and forcibly impose a government that the islanders opposed. So the matter of new agreements regarding educational exchange between Chile and the Falklands is only logical and certainly a reflection of a long-standing amiable relationship, while pushing failed Argentine pretensions and influence more deeply into oblivion.

If CFK and her cronies were in power they would claim the signing of a MOU between the CBU and the FI is illegal....because their Constitution says so...

To re-open a Chilean Consulate in Stanley!
