The Argentinian president has criticised David Cameron for insisting the Falkland Islands should remain a British territory.
Cristina Kirchner described the prime minister as "arrogant" and said his comments were an "expression of mediocrity and almost of stupidity".
Cameron had been prompted by Conservative MP Andrew Rosindell during prime minister's questions to remind Barack Obama that the British government would not accept any kind of negotiations over the south Atlantic islands, over which Argentina and Britain fought a 10-week war in 1982.
Cameron told the Commons: "I would say this: as long as the Falkland Islands want to be sovereign British territory, they should remain sovereign British territory – full stop, end of story."
In her criticism of his comments, Kirchner said Britain "continues to be a crude colonial power in decline". » | Haroon Siddique | Friday, June 17, 2011
