Protests in Argentina as Prince William begins Falklands deployment

Asked whether the arrival of Prince William in the Falklands on Thursday was
inflaming tensions, Mr Hammond said: “It shouldn’t.”

“He’s there as a search and rescue pilot, that’s a humanitarian function
and it’s a routine deployment.”

Argentina claims the deployment is a provocation, coming two months before the
30th anniversary of the conflict. Britain announced on Tuesday it was
sending HMS Dauntless, one of the most advanced anti-aircraft and
anti-ballistic ships in the world, to the South Atlantic.

Argentina has received the backing of Latin American countries for its claim
of sovereignty over the remote, wind-lashed islands, which were occupied by
Britain in 1833.

The dispute erupted into warfare April 2, 1981 when Argentine troops seized
the islands, only to be routed in a 74-day war that claimed the lives of 649
Argentines and 255 Britons.

Diplomatic friction between Argentina and Britain has intensified since 2010,
when the Government authorised oil exploration in the waters near the
islands.

The Venezuelan government announced on Thursday that it repudiated the “acts
of provocation” of the British government toward Argentina.

Venezuela also said Argentina “is not alone in its legitimate claim to
the right of sovereignty” over the islands.
