As I always mention, there are strong historical ties between Argentine Patagonia and the islands, even with the United Kingdom itself. But many here insist on denying it.
Gaiman and Trelew are small examples of this.
Minister Rawson - English surname - facilitated the arrival of the settlers.
The event held in Wales can be perfectly replicated in a much closer place such as Patagonia, Argentina, with the delegation of the islands for the exchange of agricultural knowledge and sheep breeding.
But I think that many here are not prepared to take this step.
Greetings.

There will, be no talks about sovereignty , end of story , the sooner you realise that the better it will be for you, as you have been told many times before, they will remain a BOT until the day they want independence,

Argentina’s constitution says sovereignty of the Islands is non-negotiable, what you propose would be illegal under Argentinian law, as well as British law, so a very short discussion as neither side can actually negotiate.

First you must repeal the ‘non-negotiable sovereignty’ clause in your constitution, before you can call for any ‘sovereignty negotiations’.

Not that it would change anything on the British side, but at least you could talk to the British/Islanders knowing that finally you have done the right thing.
