Telesur.png President Cristina Fernandez Celebrates Jeremy Corbyn's Victory Telesur, Venezuela, 13 September 2015 The Argentine head of state described the new head of the Labour Party as a friend of Latin America. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez sent a congratulatory letter to the new leader of Britain's Labour Party Jeremy Corby on Saturday, shortly after the results of the election were known. "This is also a triumph of all of those who represent the will of putting politics in the service of people, and the economy at the service of the well-being of all citizens," wrote the head of state.

"Jeremy Corbyn is a great friend of Latin America and shares in solidarity our demands for equality and political sovereignty," she wrote. Extracts from the letter translated in English were also posted by the South American president on her Twitter account. Earlier this month, controversy on the Malvinas islands dispute between Argentina and Britain made headlines after old footage of Corbyn calling for a shared administration of the islands emerged. As Fernandez explained in her letter, the newly elected Labour leader is actively engaged in efforts to resolve - through dialogue - the dispute between both nations. "Today, hope has triumphed," closes the letter, which is addressed on behalf of the Argentine government.
