Nuland
The President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, received today,
at the Presidential Palace, the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and
Eurasian Affairs, Mrs Victoria Nuland.
After the meeting, Mrs Nuland told reporters that “I had a really
productive meeting with President Anastasiades. I am looking forward to going to
see Mr Akinci later in the day.
The United States is really encouraged by the hard work that both
leaders are doing for peace now, very encouraged by the report that we have been
getting from both sides of the island about the commitment now to really give
the people of Cyprus the peace, the stability, the opportunity, the future that
they deserve.
We are strong supporters of a Cyprus deal by Cypriots for Cypriots.
Our role is to support this strong process that is going on and that is what we
are here to do today.
Our bilateral relationship with the island is growing on the economic
side, on the security side and we look forward to all the people of Cyprus
benefiting from that as well.”
