Anne-Marie Trevelyan – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Anne-Marie Trevelyan on 2016-01-06.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for the UK’s relations with Argentina of the presidential election in that country in November 2015.

Mr Hugo Swire

It is no secret that we have long hoped for a more mature bilateral relationship with whomever succeeded the Kirchner administration.

There are undoubted economic benefits for both of our countries, if President Macri can help Argentina to overcome years of mismanagement.

But let me assure this House that our position on the Falklands will not change.
