FALKLAND ISLANDS CEASEFIRE
The Government-warmly welcomes reports of an informal
ceasef irE! having been reached in the Falkland Islands.-
It is hoped that this will end the armed conflict and
tragic loss of life that has occurred during the
Falklands; dispute. We await with interest the terms
of the arrangements being set in place. Certainly, we
hope that: the ceasefire will lead to the early withdrawal
of all Argentine forces from the Falkland Islands.
We look forward to an early end to all hostilities in
the South Atlantic.
The Gover-nment congratulates Mrs Thatcher and her
Government and the British armed forces on their successful
rebuttal of Argentina's unprovoked aggression in the
Falkland Islands and the upholding of the principle that
unprovoked use of force should not be allowed to go
unchecked. 0o000oo0
