In a letter to Javier Miley, the UK ambassador called for “writing a new chapter” with Argentina

The celebration of King Carlos III’s birthday in Buenos Aires on Thursday evening served as the backdrop to what could be the beginning of a new bilateral relationship between Argentina and the United Kingdom.

“We are ready to start writing a new chapter in our long and rich bilateral relationship. The British ambassador said: “And to continue strengthening relations between Argentina and the British.” Kirsty HayesThis was after congratulating the president-elect Javier MileyThis was during a speech he delivered in front of about 900 people who came to the British Embassy to attend the traditional celebration, which this year included a band saluting the Queen. There were bagpipes, dancing and gastronomic specialties for vegetarians and vegans.

However, after the attacks by Kirchner and Milisme, both the president-elect and his candidate for chancellor said they would support the sovereignty claim in international forums. Former Prime Minister and new Chancellor of Sunak’s government, David Cameron, called Miley on Wednesday and congratulated him.

however, We’ll have to see how Mondino handles some of the issues where Miley maintains positions opposite the UK’s, such as climate change or defending LGBT minorities.

On Thursday, Ambassador Hayes indicated that those priorities would not be abandoned, commenting on King Charles’ concern for the environment and promising that the embassy would plant a tree for each guest, with the aim of helping to reforest Lanin National Park.

At the end of the speech, he added another reference to the gay community Thank everyone, everyone.

“In any case, the most memorable moment in Hayes’ speech was when he noted that there were still more than 200 hostages in the hands of Hamas, including many Argentines and Britons, and demanded the release of all those kidnapped.”
