Earlier this week, the United Kingdom and Argentina agreed on the first joint positive statement on the South Atlantic and Falklands issue, including on the work toward removing restrictive measures around the oil and gas industry, shipping and fishing.
"Argentina would have granted [to the United Kingdom] removal of restrictions and sanctioning on the illegal exploitation of our non-renewable and renewable natural resources, фwhich is a major error," Taiana said Thursday.
According to him, such an exploitation would trigger misappropriation of the country's nonrenewable natural resources.
"It was a failure due to repeated and abusive violations of bilateral trust," he added.
Argentina claims that it has inherited the Falkland Islands, located about 300 miles off the country's east coast, after they became independent of Spain. The territorial dispute with the United Kingdom saw a 74-day Falklands War in 1982, when Argentina invaded and briefly occupied the islands controlled by London.
