Buenos Aires, June 25 (Mercopress-RHC) –- Argentinian Foreign Minister Hector Timerman is heading a multi-party delegation that on Thursday will make the presentation of his country's position on the Malvinas Islands sovereignty dispute before the UN Decolonization Committee in New York.
The delegation also includes former senator Daniel Filmus who is now responsible for the Desk on Affairs Relative to the Malvinas Islands in the foreign ministry.
The Decolonization Committee or C-24 started meetings on Monday when the issue of Puerto Rico, a U.S. colony, was addressed and on Thursday is scheduled to discuss the Falklands/Malvinas case.
Timerman will be addressing the C-24 and is again expected to request bilateral talks with the UK on the Falklands/Malvinas, as Argentina has been doing for decades.
The UK position, which is responsible for defense and foreign affairs of the Falkland Islands is that the dialogue must also include the Islanders and will only take place when they so request it.
