answer text <p>UK officials regularly discuss illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing with the Uruguayan Government and it was one of the topics raised during the Uruguayan President's visit to the UK in May 2022. Managing and maintaining fish stocks in the Southwest Atlantic is a shared responsibility. The UK is expanding and enhancing our efforts to manage fisheries sustainably, protect ecosystems and combat IUU fishing at an international scale through our engagement in regional and international organisations, including the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation. We will continue to support approaches that will secure long-term sustainable management of high seas fisheries.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As the UK reaffirmed at the Organisation of American States' General Assembly on 5-7 October, we have no doubt about our sovereignty over the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. We remain committed to the principle and the right of the Falkland Islanders of self-determination. They expressed their wish to remain a self-governing overseas territory of the UK in 2013. There can be no dialogue on sovereignty unless the Falkland Islanders so wish. In continuing to push its claim over the Falkland Island, Argentina is entirely disregarding the people who live there and their right of self-determination.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK Government continually assesses potential threats in the UK, and takes the protection of individuals' rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously. To this end, any foreign country operating on UK soil must abide by UK law. We will not tolerate interference in UK communities from any foreign country. As you would expect, Home Office officials work closely with the FCDO and The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities as well as other government departments in ensuring that the UK is a safe and welcoming place for those who choose to settle here.</p> more like this
