Trade relations between Uruguay and the British colonists , especially in the fishing industry, livestock and tourism , are once again evident with the presence of representatives of the illegitimate Government of the Malvina Islands at the International Livestock Exhibition, Agroindustrial and Commercial Exhibition, Expo Prado 2024 .
This was announced by the Kelpers on their official X account. “ We are very excited to announce that we are returning to @ExpoPrado ,” said the administration of the British population established in the South Atlantic.
“ From Friday we will be waiting for you at our stand to talk about agriculture, tourism and life in the Malvina Islands ,” they say on the social network. They then present a video of the officials who will be visiting the neighbouring country.
In this way, the Eastern Republic of Uruguay once again contradicts its historic support for Argentina's sovereign claim in international organizations due to colonial usurpation in the southern archipelagos.
The day has come! 🇺🇾 🇫🇰

In previous years, Argentine ex-combatants in the Malvinas War loudly repudiated the representation of the “ pirate flag ” in the neighbouring country.
In 2021 , the usurpers of the Malvinas participated in the Expo Prado virtually , due to the restrictions of the time caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic . The same year in which the British ambassador to Uruguay informed Argentina “ out of courtesy ” that a Kelper stand would be set up at the meeting.
In 2022 , Governor Gustavo Melella strongly condemned the presence of the British who are usurping the Malvinas . However, with a few days to go before the meeting, the Government of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and the South Atlantic Islands has not yet made a statement in this edition.
