Falklands
« Budget | Back to most recent briefing | President Zuma »
Asked if the Prime Minister was in contact with the US administration regarding the Secretary of State’s comments on the Falklands, the PMS said that the Prime Minister was being kept informed of developments in the Falklands. Our position on sovereignty was clear, and based on the principles of self-determination there was no need for mediation. Diplomatic channels remained open with Argentina.
Asked if the Prime Minister was making that point with the Americans, the PMS said that the key principle continued to be self-determination for the islanders.
Put that what Secretary Clinton said was unhelpful, the PMS said that the US were great friends of the UK and we were focussed on the diplomatic channels and the islanders right for self-determination.
