Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who took over the presidency of the trade bloc from Mr Mujica, thanked her fellow presidents for the show of support.
Delivering a speech to the summit, she said: "I want to thank everyone for their immense solidarity with the Malvinas.
"But you should know that when you are signing something on the Malvinas in favour of Argentina you are also doing it in your own defence.
"Malvinas is not an Argentine cause, it is a global cause, because in the Malvinas they are taking our oil and fishing resources.
"And when there is need for more resources, those who are strong are going to look for them wherever and however they can."
The lady is gathering allies. Any chance the FCO have their fingers on the pulse this time?
