BUENOS AIRES， Oct. 20 (Xinhua) -- The British military drills in the disputed Malvinas Islands， known to the United Kingdom as the Falklands， have complicated bilateral relations but won't lead to risk of military conflict， said a senior Argentine political analyst.
The 9-day military drills which begun on Wednesday was denounced by the Argentine government as ""illegal."" Argentina claims sovereignty over the disputed Malvinas Islands in the South Atlantic while the islands are controlled politically by Britain.
""I recognize that this probably could have complicated the memorandum of understanding (signed between both sides about the islands)，"" said international affairs analyst Rosendo Fraga， referring to the bilateral MoU inked in 1998 by Argentina and Britain to solve their disputes on the islands in the principles of cooperation and reciprocity.
Vice-chancellor Carlos Foradori presented a note to British Ambassador to Argentina Mark Kent on Friday ""with a formal and energetic objection to the aforementioned military drills， demanding that they (Britain) refrain from holding them， at the same time informing Secretary-General of the United Nations of the situation.""
Meanwhile， Fraga said on Wednesday in an interview with Xinhua that the drills are routine and should not worry Argentina too much.
""Britain performs these exercises annually， always around this time of the year. Possibly the Malvinas are today the most important field in the world for British forces to carry out maneuvers. Since the war in 1982， Britain has established an important military base， and in this context it performs this exercise annually，"" said the analyst.
Buenos Aires and London， whose relations have been marred in the past years by the differences surrounding the sovereignty of the Malvinas Islands， decided to relaunch bilateral relations with a focus on ""things that unite"" both administrations.
An international business and investment forum was convened by Argentina last month in an attempt to renew links between the two nations.
During the forum， Alan Duncan， British Minister of State for Europe and the Americas said that， ""the United Kingdom wants to develop a relation with Argentina in a very， very positive and prosperous way，"" with political and economic agendas that would unite both sides.
""Neither Argentina nor the UK today intend to use arms to settle a conflict. In the diplomatic arena， Argentina has obtained favorable resolutions by the United Nations，"" said Fraga， adding， ""I really believe that there is no risk of military conflict in the South Atlantic at this time.""

Power Projects is the growing area of business in India and many other countries. Now more and more clients are opting for super critical power plants having single unit of 660 John Kelly Hat , 700 or 800 MW. This has resulted in a huge requirement of Pipe Fittings and Piping Spools. Companies used to buy Seamless fittings up to 24″ maximum and preferred to go for Welded fittings above 24″. A general understanding is that Welded fittings cost more than Seamless fittings. Welded fittings also require extra tests like RT and heat-treatment.
In power sector typically clients go for Seamless fittings even up to 30″ and above 30″ they prefer to go for Welded fittings. It is also observed that in higher sizes of Seamless fittings it also requires high thickness. The thickness depends on the application but the trend says that the thickness requirement is from 40 mm to 70 mm. It also may go higher in some cases. This also changes the requirement of Piping Spools in higher thickness.
Gujarat Infrapipes has successfully produced 24″ Elbow in Seamless construction having thickness of 70 mm. GIPL has also developed 30″ Seamless Elbow and has a capability to produce up to 36″. Producing seamless elbows will not only increase the productivity but also will give better quality. There is also a trend to go for weldless Piping spools up to a certain size. This will also help to control the quality and avoid welding of small size pipes. It is also possible to bend in different axis and planes with either NC or CNC machines.
STRASBOURG, France, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Despite "sufficient progress" John Franklin-Myers Hat , European Council President Donald Tusk told European lawmakers in Strasbourg on Tuesday that the most difficult part of the process was still to come.
"The hardest work is still ahead of us, and time is limited," Tusk said in his report to members of European Parliament (MEPs) on the outcomes of the December 2017 European Summit.
"We must maintain the unity of the EU27 in every scenario Brian Allen Hat , and personally I have no doubt that we will," he said.
"If the UK government sticks to its decision to leave, Brexit will become a reality -- with all its negative consequences -- in March next year. Unless there is a change of heart among our British friends Joseph Noteboom Hat ," Tusk told lawmakers.
"What we need today is more clarity on the UK's vision," the European Council President said. "Once we have that, the leaders will meet and decide on the way the EU sees its future relationship with the UK as a third country."
Tusk appeared to offer hope to anti-Brexit campaigners Eric Dickerson Hat , concluding his remarks by referencing the ability for a democracy to change its mind. "We, here on the continent, haven't had a change of heart. Our hearts are still open to you Rob Havenstein Hat ," he said.
Tusk repeated his stance later with a tweet.
Also addressing MEPs in the same debate, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker echoed his European Council colleague, saying "Mr. Tusk said our door remains open Tyler Higbee Hat , and I hope that will be heard clearly in London."
