Obituary
The Falkland Islands have lost one of their most formidable and indefatigable champions in their resistance to Argentina's sovereignty claims.
From the Chief Minister Peter Caruana.
Tomorrow is the focal point of the year long celebration of the Tercentenary of British Sovereignty of Gibraltar. It is thus an important day in our collective journey as a people, not just because we celebrate our history, but because we look forward to a future of respect for our collective rights and aspirations as a people.
The Falkland Islands were allocated this week three million Euros from the European Development Fund, EDF, with the purpose of reinforcing trade development capacity and enhancing the export capacity of this British Overseas Territory.
A delegation from the Falkland Islands is preparing for the TravelMart Latin America 2004 edition that will be taking place in Foz do Iguazu, Brazil between September 29 and October first.
