Speaking on the 25th anniversary of the Argentinian invasion of the Falkland Islands, Argentinian foreign secretary Jorge Taiana said his country's government would use "more firmness" in its attempts to gain sovereignty of the south Atlantic territory. "I have the commitment of the government to find more firmness in reclaiming sovereignty [of the Falklands]," Mr Taiana said, according to Clarín newspaper's website. "The national government is making many decisions on various fronts, and one of its principal actions is to remind the world of the British failure to fulfil [its obligations] with the Malvinas [Falklands]." The Argentinian president, Néstor Kirchner, who is expected to stand for re-election in October, has not shied away from showing his indignation over the continued British sovereignty of the territory while always stressing that a solution must be found through diplomatic means rather than force. Many Argentinians consider the Falklands theirs by right. President Kirchner's government last week scrapped an oil and gas exploration accord with Britain over the Falklands just days after Tony Blair strongly backed Margaret Thatcher's decision to send a military force to the south Atlantic.

Do you think Britain should engage Argentina in diplomatic talks over ceding sovereignty of the Falkland Islands to the South American nation 25 years after the two engaged in a 10 week war over the territory?
