(Prensa Latina) Once again Latin America and the Caribbean supported Argentina in the cause of sovereignty of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, a territory usurped by the United Kingdom, which led to a war in 1982.
In the program that Argentina is carrying out this year to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Malvinas war, the headquarters of the Latin American and Caribbean Parliament (Parlatino) in Panama, hosted a seminar on the subject, at which the countries of the region once again urged the United Kingdom to resume peaceful negotiations in order to solve the conflict.
A note from the Foreign Ministry states that Parlatino legislators and authorities, together with senators and deputies from different political forces, members of the Malvinas Council and diplomats, called on the international community to urge the British Government to resume negotiations with Argentina, in line with the provisions of international law.
The meeting was attended, among others, by former Panamanian Presidents Aristides Royo and Martin Torrijos, Panamanian Foreign Minister Erika Mouynes, and Argentina’s Secretary of Malvinas, Antarctica and South Atlantic of Argentina, Guillermo Carmona.
In his speech, Carmona stressed the importance of the initiative, which shows that the Malvinas issue is one of the most outstanding cases in Latin American and Caribbean unity and solidarity, as well as a demonstration that the dispute of the territory’s sovereignty is a cause that unites not only the Argentine people but also all men and women who seek to end colonialism.
