A new monthly direct flight between mainland Argentina and The Falkland/Malvinas Islands will be introduced as part of a new deal on ‘mutual cooperation’ with the UK. The measure was highlighted in a joint communique that called for increased cooperation in a number of areas, including trade, defense, and development of the South Atlantic islands.

Of course this will not include the issue of sovereignty,” said Duncan.
