Argentina Vows 'Concrete Actions' to Gain Full Sovereignty of Falklands After UK Gives Up Chagos
Oct 4, 2024, 07:55 AM
Argentina has vowed to gain full sovereignty over the Falkland Islands after the UK gave up control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in return for securing the future of a strategically important military base. Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino stated that the country intends to restore sovereignty over the islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas, through "concrete actions, not empty rhetoric." The UK's move regarding the Chagos Archipelago has prompted concerns in the Falkland Islands, with the governor's office issuing a statement assuring a commitment to defend sovereignty. The UK government affirmed it remains committed to the sovereignty of the Falkland Islanders and their right to self-determination following the Chagos deal.
