FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Earlier on Friday, Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timmerman had invited Browne to travel to Argentina after visiting the Malvinas next week to mark the 30th anniversary of the 1982 war over the islands.
“As [former British Prime Minister] Winston Churchill would say: ‘You need courage to sit down and listen’,” Timmerman said in the invitation.
“We will always be ready to talk about a cause we believe is just, but we are also prepared to listen,” he added.
However, the British Foreign Office cited a “full schedule of events” during Browne’s visit to turn down the invitation while also resorting to the old excuse of islanders’ consent before any negotiations could be held over Malvinas sovereignty.
“The UK has a long-standing interest in building a stronger partnership with Argentina on a broad range of issues of mutual interest,” the Foreign Office said.
“The only issue that we will not discuss is the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, unless and until the islanders wish us to do so,” it added.
The new development comes after a series of recent exchanges between Buenos Aires and London over the islands.
The decades-old tensions over Malvinas sovereignty escalated in recent months after London deployed Prince William, the second in line for the British throne, on a military mission to the islands ahead of the 30th anniversary of the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina.
Buenos Aires has taken the case of Malvinas sovereignty to the United Nations and is pushing for talks to settle the issue despite adamant refusal by the British government.
