Hugo ChavezVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez has slammed the US and the UK for their 'oil hunger' that has sparked tensions over drilling plans near the Falklands or Las Malvinas.
委內瑞拉總統烏戈查華士抨擊美國和英國，為他們的石油飢餓'引發緊張的局勢，在福克蘭群島附近或馬爾維納斯群島的鑽探計劃
"The English are desperate, the Yankees are desperate and here we have the biggest petroleum reserves in the world," Reuters quoted Chavez as speaking on a TV program on Friday about the latest rows between the UK and Argentina over Britain's plans to explore oil in the southern hemisphere.
“英格蘭人是拼命的，美國人是拼命的，和在這裡我們有世界上最大的石油蘊藏，”路透社援引查華士週五在一個電視節目的發言，有關英國和阿根廷對英國在南半球去開發石油的計劃。
"Give the Malvinas back to the Argentine people. Enough already with the empire," Chavez added, pledging support for Argentina's claim on the islands' energy reservoirs and sovereignty.
“把馬爾維納斯交回給阿根廷的人民，已忍夠那帝國，”查韋斯補充，承諾會支持阿根廷對這些島嶼的能源水塘和主權的宣示。
"When will England stop breaking international law? Return the Malvinas to Argentina," he went on to say, negating British Premier Gordon Brown's abiding by the "international law" comments on the Falklands/ Las Malvinas.
“英格蘭何時才停止違反國際法？交回馬爾維納斯群島給阿根廷，”他繼續說，否定英國首相白高登所說在福克蘭群島 /馬爾維納斯群島上，遵守“國際法”的評論。
Earlier this week, Argentinean government formally objected to British-led drilling plans near the islands that lie around 500 kilometers off the coast of Argentina and almost 13,000 kilometers away from the UK.
Britain, however, deems the southern Atlantic archipelago as part of its sovereign territories, with Prime Minister Brown reportedly hinting at a possible confrontation in the event of a clash.
"We have made all the preparations that are necessary to make sure that the Falkland Islanders are properly protected," Brown was quoted by Reuters as telling a local radio Thursday, following reports of the deployment of extra warships in the area.
Britain won a war with Argentina over the islands in 1982 after the Argentines made an attempt to reclaim their South Atlantic Islands which the UK had seized in the 19th century.
