US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright stopped over in Larnaca for an hour last night.

The stop was made to allow her plane to refuel. Albright landed at around 7pm and took off just after 8pm.

She was enroute from Africa to Brussels for meetings of Nato ministers.

Albright made no statements during her stop, her third visit to Cyprus in the past two years. The last visit she made was in September.
