No Plan To Retake
Malvinas (Falkland) Islands By Force:
Argentine FM
BUENOS AIRES - Argentina said on Thursday
that it has no plan to retake the
Malvinas(Falkland) islands from
Britain by military force.
"Those who take weapons to the water of the
South Atlantic and the Malvinas Islands are
the British occupying forces. The one using
the force is the United Kingdom," Argentine
Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said in a
statement.
Argentina "will never allow the use of
forces to reoccupy the islands," he said.
"We will use all the resources of the
international law."
After meeting UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
on Wednesday in New York, Taiana requested
Britain to fulfill the decision of the UN
General Assembly and the Decolonization
Committee, which includes a call for
negotiations between the two countries on
the sovereignty of the Malvinas islands.
A readout issued later Wednesday by Ban's
spokesperson said Ban expressed satisfaction
at Argentina's commitment to resolving its
dispute with Britain over the islands in a
peaceful manner. |
