Relationship context

Overview

The Falkland Islands are a British Overseas Territory, and foreign relations are handled by the United Kingdom rather than the island government. Uruguay has supported Argentina's position on the sovereignty dispute and restricted port access for vessels flying the Falkland Islands flag, indicating a limited source of friction.
