A Chilean company plans to resume routes to the Falkland Islands; Argentina may take countermeasures.

According to information from the Argentine side on the 14th, a Chilean cargo ship will head to the Malvinas Islands in November, a move that may heighten diplomatic tensions between Argentina and Chile. The Argentine side believes that the relevant shipping activity could help the United Kingdom consolidate its de facto control over the islands. Some Argentine lawmakers have proposed a bill suggesting the termination of the investment and trade cooperation agreement signed with Chile as a countermeasure.
