Argentina on Tuesday lodged a formal diplomatic protest with the UK Embassy in Buenos Aires over what it called the "illegitimate" extension of offshore hydrocarbon licenses in the Falkland Islands.
The protest, issued on the instructions of Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno, strongly rejected the extension of the licenses and the approval for Navitas Petroleum Atlantic Limited, a subsidiary of Israel's Navitas Petroleum, to acquire a 65% stake in license area PL001.
The Argentine Foreign Ministry reaffirmed the country's sovereignty claim over the continental shelf, arguing that unilateral exploration of its resources violates international law.
