CFK leaves Summit before final meeting

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner left the 6th Summit of the Americas held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia before the official closing meeting.

The President attended the official closing photo session of the summit with the other heads of state that are still present at the meeting to then rapidly abandon the facilities and head to the international airport.

According to Colombian media network Radio Caracol, “The Argentine president declined to participate in the final private meeting of the presidents and went directly to the airport of Cartagena.”

Colombian journalists assured that Fernández de Kirchner’s erratic behavior comes in response to the lack of consensus on support to Argentina’s sovereignty claim to the UK over the Malvinas, South Georgia, and Sandwich Islands, hence the no inclusion of the topic in the summit’s final report.
