Peru’s decision to allow the visit of a British warship has cause controversy in Argentina, reported El Comercio.

The Peruvian government authorized the British ship to dock in the port of Callao from Thursday 22 to Monday 26 of March. The ship’s visit was approved by Peru’s congress on February 27 2012.

The ship’s stop in Peru caused controversy due to ongoing tension between the UK and Argentina over the Falkland Islands.

[Update: Peru’s Minister of Foreign Affairs has announced the Peruvian government has suspended the visit.]
