Chile Backs Argentina’s Sovereignty Claim over Falkland Islands
The joint statement urged Britain and Argentina to resume talks on the dispute as Chile said its support reflects long-standing sovereignty claims.
- On Monday, Chilean President Antonio Kast met with Argentine President Javier Milei in Buenos Aires, reaffirming Chile's support for Argentina's sovereignty claim over the Islas Malvinas, a dispute with the United Kingdom spanning over 190 years.
- Seeking to "estrechar lazos," Kast traveled to Argentina to coordinate with Milei on confronting what the leaders describe as "enemigos comunes" threatening both nations.
- The leaders also discussed the extradition of Galvarino Apablaza, accused of participating in the 1991 assassination of UDI Jaime Guzmán, a senator whose death occurred during Chile's democratic transition.
- Defense attorney Rodolfo Yanzón told Canal 13 his client "no se va a presentar porque sería refrendar un acto absolutamente ilegal," claiming the extradition violates refugee protections.
- Beyond the extradition dispute, both nations agreed to strengthen security cooperation against transnational crime and advance trade, energy, mining integration, and border connectivity.
