Debate between Alan Duncan and John Nicolson

Tuesday 18th October 2016 Commons Chamber

[Sir Alan Duncan]

Yes, I am happy to confirm that. Indeed, the Government are building a much more constructive relationship with the Government of Argentina. During my visit to Buenos Aires, I agreed an historic joint statement that established closer co-operation across our bilateral relationship, which includes some important benefits for the Falkland Islands and for Argentina.

[John Nicolson (East Dunbartonshire) (SNP)]
