UK Cameron condemns Argentina's position on Malvinas Islands
In his Christmas message to the Malvinas Islands people, UK Prime Minister David Cameron criticized the Argentine government for "continuing its unjustified and counterproductive efforts to disrupt shipping around the Islands and to deter business from engaging in legitimate commerce."
"Threats to cut communication links between the Islands and your neighbours in South America only reflect badly on those who make them," he added in a recorded message.
Cameron stressed "I firmly believe that it is in our interests that we have a constructive relationship with Argentina. There is common ground to be found on issues like the global economy and climate change. We want to work with Argentina on those issues. But the Argentine Government has continued to make statements which challenge your right to self-determination, and we can never accept that."
