THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: David Cameron was involved in an extraordinary confrontation with Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner at the G20 Summit in Mexico as she attempted to hand documents to the Prime Minister related to the Falkland Islands.
The two leaders are understood to have met unexpectedly in a corridor on the fringes of the G20 Summit and exchanged words.
Some reports indicated it was Mr Cameron who sought out President Kirchner. He told her that she should "respect the views" of Falkland residents who have announced they are to hold a referendum on the issue of control of the islands.
Mrs Kirchner attempted to hand an envelope to Mr Cameron but he refused to accept it. Héctor Timerman, the Argentinian foreign minister, said: "Nation states have the obligation to talk. We prepared an envelope containing various papers, but the British Primer Minister refused to receive it.
"Britain continues to refuse to talk. And what surprised me most was that David Cameron did not go to the UN decolonisation meeting on Thursday." » | Jonathan Gilbert, Buenos Aires | Tuesday, June 19, 2012
