Argentina's new president, Javier Milei, believes the Falkland Islands belong to his nation and promises to return them.
Miley insisted during the campaign that Great Britain must return the Falkland Islands, and that this is non-negotiable, reports the Telegraph.
He compared the Falklands to Hong Kong, which Great Britain returned to China. Argentina believes that the Falklands Islands were illegally taken from it in 1833.
The Falkland Islands were the site of a brief but brutal war after Argentina invaded in 1982. Britain then sent troops, and Argentina lost the two-month war for the archipelago in a conflict that claimed the lives of 649 Argentines and 255 British soldiers.
The Falklands issue was never considered settled in Buenos Aires. Argentina still claims while the UK says the Falklands are a self-governing entity under its protection.
In the referendum held in 2013, around 99.8 percent of the population voted to remain British. Miley insisted during his presidential campaign that questions about the future of the Falkland Islands cannot be ignored.
"What do I suggest? Argentina's sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands is non-negotiable. The Malvinas are Argentina. Now we have to see how to return them. It is clear that the war option is not the solution. We suggest moving towards a solution like England had with China regarding the Hong Kong issue. The position of the people who live on the islands cannot be ignored. You cannot deny that these people are there. You cannot ignore those human beings. You must negotiate with Britain and take into account the views of the people who live on the islands. We are looking for a lasting solution to return the Malvinas Islands to Argentina through diplomatic means," said Milei.
Great Britain, however, according to the Daily Express, has told newly elected Argentine President Javier Mileu that they will not discuss the Falkland Islands.
"The Falkland Islands belong to Great Britain. It is indisputable and non-negotiable," said Defense Minister Grant Shaps.
The British Navy announced that the patrol boat will return to the Falkland Islands after a nine-month break. /Telegraph/
