Argüello claims Great Britain is 'taking Argentine resources'

The Argentine Ambassador to the UN, Jorge Argüello, on Friday stated that Great Britain are taking Argentine resources, when he claimed the country is “illegally taking fish from Argentine waters” and that “they want to take the petrol and minerals,” during a conference in South Africa.

Argüello spoke of the issues today in a discussion about the Malvinas islands with students from the University of Cape Town in Cabo.

“The world needs to understand that the British are illegally taking fish from our waters, and they are after petrol and our minerals,” expressed Argüello.

The Argentine representative to the UN further sustained that “it is clear that the twenty-first century will be time for dispute over natural resources” adding that “the Malvinas is a good example of this.”
