Politics and the Falklands

A few months ago, British Foreign Secretary William Hague made a speech at Canning House in which he promised upgraded and more constructive relations with Latin America. It is fair to say that this promise has not exactly been fulfilled. On the contrary, not only have British relations with Argentina deteriorated because of the Falklands issue but there are also signs that the Argentine position is being supported by countries such as Uruguay which have their own differences with Argentina.
