Macri Praises The 'State Policy' That Outlines the New Map Of Argentina


UENOS AIRES, March 30 (BERNAMA-NNN-MERCOPRESS) -- The new map of Argentina, implemented by the UN resolution that extends the country's continental shelf is an example of "State policy", since it's a claim that has been elaborated in international forums for over twenty years under different governments, underlined president Mauricio Macri, following the official announcement on Tuesday.

"A few weeks ago a UN convention which addresses countries' sea rights and limits approved unanimously the request from Argentina to extend the outer limit of our continental shelf" the Argentine leader pointed out in his Facebook.

"It's a project with two decades of studies and preparation, the effort of experts working in different fields and under different governments that continued uninterruptedly advancing the claim all along these years, a true example of a 'State policy'".

Macri mentioned the benefits of such a joint achievement tasked for over two decades. "Working on this decision the country is winning 1.7m sq km, depth meters and the UN acknowledgement of the existence of a dispute regarding Malvinas Islands sovereignty".
