Argentina has vowed to gain “full sovereignty” of the Falkland Islands after the UK gave up control of a remote archipelago in return for securing the future of a strategically important military base.

The country’s foreign minister, Diana Mondino, welcomed the step taken by Sir Keir Starmer’s Government on Thursday towards ending “outdated practices” after Britain returned the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

The UK Government said earlier it had reached a political agreement with Mauritius over the Chagos Islands, also known as the British Indian Ocean Territory, following negotiations which began in 2022.

Isabel Oakeshott says: "They're making the taxpayer pay for it."
