Cameron to visit Falklands to show support for ‘valued part of British family’
==========
Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron will visit the Falkland Islands to demonstrate that they are a "valued part of the British family." This visit comes amid renewed calls from Argentina for talks on the future of the islands. Lord Cameron emphasized that the issue of sovereignty is not up for discussion as long as the islanders wish to remain British. Argentina has long claimed sovereignty over the Falklands, but in a 2013 referendum, the islanders voted overwhelmingly to retain their status as a UK overseas territory. Lord Cameron will pay his respects to those who lost their lives in the 1982 war with Argentina during his visit. He will also meet with leaders of the Falkland Islands government and visit environmental projects and penguin habitats. Lord Cameron is expected to travel to the Falklands before visiting Paraguay, marking the first time a British foreign secretary has traveled to the South American nation. Afterward, he will attend a meeting of G20 counterparts in Brazil and a United Nations session in New York on Russia's actions in Ukraine.
