Hon. Mark Pollard, a Member of the Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Islands, warned about the threat the island faces from Argentina.
In August Argentina staged its largest military exercise for decades, involving troops, helicopters and armoured mortar carriers.
Speaking to Express.co.uk at the Conservative Party conference on Monday, Mr Pollard warned about the threat from Argentina.
He said: “I think we always have this threat from Argentina that leans over our head continuously.
“But we are very very pleased with the reassurance we get from the MOD.

“We have a military base in the Falkland Islands and it is very capable of defending the island.
“We are concerned about some Argentine rhetoric, but we are happy that things are in place to defend us against them.
“I don’t think we will see another invasion in anytime in my life.”
He added: “I think it has died down a bit since Macri became prime minister after Kirchner.
“I hope that we can work together in the future but these are all hopes and dreams.
“The rhetoric is still definitely there, although it is on a lower level than it was.
“We still have sanctions in place on our economy in place from the Argentine government.
“We are working on these and trying to get them removed or reduced, hopefully, we can do more in the future.”
The military exercise held in the summer, named Operation Maipu also saw night-time helicopter landings at the large Magdalena training area near Buenos Aires.
A Whitehall source said: “We are aware of what happened thanks to information supplied by a nearby friendly country.”
