U.S. Official Optimistic on Talks

NICOSIA – Foreign officials who spoke at the conference of the International Coordination Committee “Justice for Cyprus” (PSEKA) held within the framework of the 18th World Conference of Overseas Cypriots (POMAK) and the Executive Council Meeting of Young Overseas Cypriots (NEPOMAK) emphasized prospects for a settlement of the Cyprus problem in the context of UN negotiations for Cyprus re-unification, energy matters, and the role of overseas Cypriots.

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken presented a televised message to the conference and noted the deep engagement of President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and Secretary of State John Kerry with efforts for a Cyprus settlement.

Blinken said the prospects for a lasting settlement are the best that have been seen in more than a decade.
