UK/ARGENTINE RELATIONS

BRITISH INITIATIVES TOWARDS MORE NORMAL RELATIONS?

Want more normal relations.

Since 1982 series of British initiatives,

humanitarian, trade, finance, fish.

ARGENTINE ATTITUDE?

-

Argentine response disappointing. Insist on

sovereignty link.

Discrimination against British shipping, air

services, British goods and firms.

WHY NO NEGOTIATIONS ON SOVEREIGNTY?

Invasion destroyed previously good relations:

shattered Islanders' confidence.

Need is to rebuild confidence and restore more

normal relations: realism.

Only solution acceptable to Argentina is transfer of sovereignty irrespective of Islanders' wishes.
