The Argentine government this Saturday rejected an initiative from the United Kingdom Embassy in Buenos Aires to organize a competition whose prize is a trip to the Malvinas Islands, an archipelago under British rule and whose sovereignty is claimed by the South American country.

“The Argentine government categorically rejects the competition organized by the British Embassy in our country, the purpose of which is to select university students to pay for a trip to Falklands”, – stated in the message of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina.

According to the Argentine Foreign Ministry, the competition is held “under the wrong motto, which intends to designate these islands as a separate territory of the Republic.” Argentina and under an illegal toponym, which contradicts the national position on the issue of Falkland Islands and this is reflected in the national constitution.”

The winners, according to a call posted on the British government’s website, will stay with a local family “to experience life on the islands firsthand”.
