British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly announced on Sunday, at an evening reception during the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, a visit to the Malvina Islands, as a show of support for the territory's self-determination.
Cleverly has been embroiled in a dispute with Argentina since earlier this year, when Buenos Aires withdrew from a cooperation agreement with Britain, urging London to discuss the sovereignty of the Malvina Islands.
The minister spoke of a “disagreement” with the Argentine Government about the Malvinas, after Buenos Aires notified London in March that it was ending the “Foradori-Duncan” pact , by which both capitals agreed to cooperate in sectors such as transport. maritime, fishing and hydrocarbons, as well as in the identification of remains of Argentine soldiers who fell in the Malvinas War in 1982.
“Some of you will have noticed that, given that they have an election coming up, they are trying to make a bit of a show of force when it comes to the people of the Malvinas,” the British minister said.
“I believe in the right of people to self-determination.
