On Wednesday, the United Kingdom rejected Javier Milei's request at the United Nations General Assembly for discussions on sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands. In a UN mission statement, the British government affirmed its sovereignty over the Malvinas, South Georgia, and the South Sandwich Islands, and declined Argentina's call to restart negotiations.
The statement specifically addressed the development of the Sea Lion oil project, defending hydrocarbon exploration in the region and opposing Argentine actions against companies involved in those activities. Milei had urged the UK to resume talks toward a peaceful resolution of the sovereignty dispute, while criticizing British oil licenses in the waters near the islands and warning Argentina would take action against companies exploiting those resources without authorization.
