Falklands: Pope Asked To Intervene In Row

Argentine President Cristina Kirchner says she has asked her fellow countryman Pope Francis to promote dialogue between their country and Britain.

"I asked his intervention to promote dialogue between the two sides," Ms Kirchner told a news conference after meeting Pope Francis ahead of his inaugural mass on Tuesday.

She noted that Pope John Paul II had mediated in a similar conflict between Argentina and Chile in 1978 over the Beagle channel and adjoining islands - which prevented a full fledged armed conflict.

According to media reports, in 2011 the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires said: "The Malvinas (Falklands) are ours".

Last week, 99.8% of Falkland Islanders voted to stay under British rule in a referendum - with Prime Minister David Cameron warning that Argentina should take "careful note" of the result.

But Argentina insisted the vote was illegal and pointless because the people had no role in deciding a dispute between two sovereign states.
