Argentina has renewed its call for full sovereignty over the Falkland Islands following the UK's decision to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
Buenos Aires sees the UK's move as a precedent for resolving its long-standing claim over the South Atlantic islands, which remain under British control. The UK government, led by Keir Starmer, has faced criticism for the Chagos decision, with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson also weighing in. Argentina's foreign minister, Diana Mondino, emphasized that the Falklands have never been part of Argentina's territory but vowed to continue pursuing sovereignty.
The issue remains a sensitive point in UK-Argentina relations, decades after the 1982 Falklands War.
