Argentina: Foreign Relations

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 28 January 2025 to Question 25786 on Argentina: Foreign Relations, whether he discussed the future of the Falkland Islands in those conversations.

Answer

The Foreign Secretary reiterated the UK's longstanding position on Falkland Islands sovereignty.
