Chile-Argentina Strait of Magellan sovereignty dispute resurfaces in parliament

Chilean FM Rodrigo Pérez Mackenna reaffirmed commitment to historical treaties governing the Strait of Magellan amid renewed political attention to the sovereignty dispute with Argentina. The statement signals a diplomatic, treaty-based approach rather than escalation, but the resurgence of the issue in parliament suggests domestic political pressure. The strait remains a critical maritime chokepoint for southern cone trade and naval transit.
