Abstract

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron plans to visit the Falkland Islands in order to assert British sovereignty over the archipelago, following Argentine President Javier Milei's vow to reclaim them. Cameron may make the trip as early as next week, coinciding with a Group of Twenty foreign ministers meeting in Rio de Janeiro. Argentina has maintained its claim to the islands since gaining independence in the 1800s, but a 2013 referendum showed that the majority of Falkland Islanders wish to remain a British territory. In 1982, Argentina invaded the Falklands, leading to a 10-week war with the UK. [Extracted from the article]
