BUENOS AIRES, Oct 15, (APP/AFP) – Argentina has said that it has lodged an “emphatic protest” against British plans to hold military exercises in the disputed Falkland Islands, renewing an old feud after a recent thaw. British Ambassador Mark Kent was summoned to the offices of the Argentine Foreign Ministry and given a formal note of complaint demanding the exercises be called off, the ministry said in a statement. It said Britain was planning “illegal military exercises in the area of the Malvinas,” the Argentine name for the islands, from October 19 to 28, including the launch of Rapier missiles.
