Argentina and Chile have drawn a line under their dispute over Magallanes, reaffirming Chilean sovereignty over the “entire” Strait of Magellan in a joint statement issued after Javier Milei’s visit to the neighboring country.
The agreement followed remarks by Argentina’s air force chief, who had questioned Chilean sovereignty over the maritime passage several days earlier. The joint communication settles the controversy by restating Chile’s position over the strait’s full extent.
Chile’s president also reiterated support for Argentina in its dispute with the United Kingdom over the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas.
