UK Reaffirms Unchanged Position on Falkland Islands

London, Sept. 4 (Petra)– The British government on Friday reaffirmed
that the United Kingdom’s position on the Falkland Islands remains
“firm and unchanged,” following renewed calls by Argentine President
Javier Milei for his country to reclaim sovereignty over the disputed
South Atlantic islands.

The UK Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement, cited by the BBC,
that Britain’s position on the islands remains unchanged, stressing
that they “will remain a British Overseas Territory” as long as the
islanders wish it to be so.

In a 2013 referendum, Falkland Islanders overwhelmingly voted to
remain a British Overseas Territory, with 99.8 percent voting in
favor and only three votes cast against.
