Does Argentina know this if so they going be tick off LOL!
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron is set to visit the Falkland Islands this week as part of a tour of South America, the British government said on Sunday.
The trip comes after Argentina's recently elected president, Javier Milei, renewed calls for talks for the islands to come under Argentine sovereignty.
Cameron is also scheduled to visit Paraguay this week, which will make him the first British Secretary to do so. He will then attend a foreign ministers' meeting of the G20 bloc of countries in Brazil.
Why is David Cameron visiting the Falkland Islands?
Cameron said that he wanted to underscore the fact that the archipelago is part of "the British family."
"The Falkland Islands are a valued part of the British family, and we are clear that as long as they want to remain part of the family, the issue of sovereignty will not be up for discussion," he said.
The foreign office said that Cameron would pay his respects to British soldiers who died in a 1982 war with Argentina and thank personnel currently stationed on the islands.
He will also "reiterate the UK's commitment to uphold the islanders' right of self-determination" and "see their work to build a thriving community and protect their natural environment," acco
