| Spain refutes Argentine claims on pact to force UK to leave Falklands and Gibraltar |
| 2013-09-29 |
| Spain refuted Argentine claims they had reached agreement on "joint actions" against the UK to encourage them to negotiate on the Falklands' sovereignty. The Argentine announcement came after the two countries' foreign ministers met in New York where they were attending the UN General Assembly. The Argentine foreign ministry, in the statement posted on its website yesterday said: "Hector Timerman and Spanish counterpart Jose Maria Margallo met in New York at the margins of the UN General Assembly to discuss bilateral agenda issues. "In particular they discussed the common ground regarding sovereignty disputes over the Falklands and Gibraltar. They agreed on joint measures to press Great Britain to comply with the mandate from the United Nations to dialogue." |

| #1 It was not clear last night whether Spain was refuting any agreement at all with Argentina - or was just annoyed about the timing of the announcement by Buenos Aires. Spain's relationship with Argentina took a battering when its president Christina Kirchner nationalised oil company YPF, a subsidiary of Spanish firm Repsol, in April last year. nice try. Some people get annoyed when you steal their stuff. Kirchner is |
