Argentina presses for UN help in Falklands dispute
None
Argentina's foreign minister went to the United Nations on Wednesday to seek help in persuading Britain to sit down for talks over their competing claims to a vast swath of the southern Atlantic Ocean where Britain has begun drilling for oil.
Jorge Taiana said he would tell UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that Argentina is always ready to negotiate over the future of the Falkland Islands and the surrounding seas, despite "the permanently negative position of the United Kingdom toward complying with what the UN has indicated." (AP)
