LORD Cameron today visited the Falkland Islands in a show of strength - despite fresh calls from Argentina over the islands' future.
The Foreign Secretary said that Britain's ownership of the Falklands is "not up for discussion".

Cameron is the first foreign secretary to visit the Falklands for 30 years.
His trip comes after Argentina's far-right president Javier Milei called for Britain to hand over the islands.

"We are clear that as long as they want to remain part of the family, the issue of sovereignty will not be up for discussion."
Last month Cameron and Milei had a "warm and cordial" meeting at the Davos summit in Switzerland.
The Foreign Office said that Britain and Argentina would "agree to disagree" about the Falklands - and "do so politely".
Cameron's visit is the first by a Cabinet minister since then defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon's trip in 2016.
The last foreign secretary to visit the Falklands was Douglas Hurd in 1994.
In a 2013 referendum, islanders voted overwhelmingly to stay part of the UK.
