  New Governor “Privileged and excited”

  A few days before flying to the Falkland Islands as the new Governor, Mr Howard Pearce says he feels it a great privilege.

That experience gives him better direct insight than possibly any previous Governor into how Argentines think and into their obsession with their claim to the “Malvinas”.
