David Cameron has called on Argentina to respect the wishes of the people of the Falkland Islands after they voted to remain a British overseas territory.
The prime minister said the overwhelming vote was the "clearest possible result there could be".
He said Argentina should take "careful note" of the referendum and Britain would always defend the islands.
It follows pressure from Argentina over its claims to the islands, 31 years after the Falklands War with the UK.
Mr Cameron said: "The Falkland islanders couldn't have spoken more clearly. They want to remain British and that view should be respected by everybody, including by Argentina."
Of 1,517 votes cast in the two-day referendum, just three votes were against. There was a turnout of more than 90% from 1,672 British citizens eligible to vote in a population of about 2,900.
