Cameron says Malvinas sovereignty 'is not negotiable'

UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, sent a clear message during a Parliamentary speech regarding Argentina’s claim over the Malvinas islands as the British leader stated that sovereignty “is not negotiable. Period!”

When asked about the recent claims made by the Argentine government, which reached out to UN's Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, during the weekly round of questions that Cameron faces at the House of Lords, the conservative leader emphasized that “as far as the Falklands (British denomination for Malvinas) maintain their interest in remaining British sovereign territory, they should remain that way, and there is nothing more to say about it."

Furthemore, Tory Deputy Andrew Rosindell, asked Cameron to remind US President, Barack Obama next time he sees him, that the British government will never accept any kind of negotiations over the archipelago.”

Yesterday, President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner stated that “it’s ridiculous to hold sovereignty of something that’s 14,000 kilometers away”, during an event for the 29th anniversary of the Malvinas war.
