Argentines new secretary of Malvinas, Antarctica, says he will work with other countries

This could include commercials from 3 rd parties and us based on our understanding. Guillermo Carmona, the new Secretary of Malvinas, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands, who chaired the Chamber of Deputies Foreign Relations Committee between 2012 and 2015 made his remarks in conversation with the agenda malvinas website, outlining the approach he plans to adopt on issues related to his country's sovereignty claim. Mr Alberto Fernandez replaced Daniel Filmus in the role after the former was appointed science minister by President Donald Carter.

Insisting he was acting in accordance with a state policy articulated in Argentina'National Constitution, he explained: The Secretariat is responsible for the dispute with the United Kingdom, something that requires compliance with First Transitory Provision of the National Constitution and which means the dissemination of our position in international and diplomatic sphere. My personal opinion is that the Atlantic itself is what calls us to think about national sovereignty since it implies its full exercise over the continental sea, the Argentine exclusion zone, the extensive continental shelf of our country and its natural resources. With all such lands, Mr Carmona said, the Foreign Ministry's approach involved dealing with intermediaries from other countries and with those representing Argentina in Forums for International Debate.

For this, he said, it was essential to be clear that the framework for action was what he called the constitutional mandate which reaffirms Argentina's sovereignty over Falklands and corresponding maritime spaces. He added: But our work is also framed within international law, in which we invoke the United Nations Resolutions that recognise and call for a peaceful resolution of the conflict. The defence of Argentina's sovereignty claim had suffered ideological discontinuities as a result of conflicting interests in the past, suggested he said.

The draft budget for the next year implies increasing this development, with the expansion of the naval base in Ushuaia, which significantly demonstrates Argentina's interest in exercising sovereignty in its Antarctic waters. He also stressed that the commemoration of the war would coincide with the 10th anniversary of Ushuaia Declaration, a document which unanimously declared the defence of sovereignty as a State Policy in 2012.

He added: To this end, our action involves coordinating the work of ministries as diverse as Defence or Culture, as well as a strong task in the international area to reactivate the group in favor of dialogue for Malvinas because the moment and the situation make the activity of these groups more important than ever. Speaking after Mr Carmona's recent promotion, a UK-based insider told Express.co. Argentine Guillermo Carmona has been a major player in the Falklands campaign for a long time. I think Filmus was quite aggressive.
