President wraps up contacts on sidelines of WEF

President Nicos Anastasiades has held a series of meetings with heads of state and government on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Amman, Jordan, with whom he discussed the latest developments in the Cyprus issue, energy matters and bilateral issues.

Anastasiades on Sunday took part in a round table discussion in the framework of the Forum on the Middle East and North Africa Forum.

He also met with the High Representative of the European Union on Foreign Affairs, Federica Mogherini with whom he exchanged views on the Cyprus issue and the role of the EU in the effort to find a solution to the Cyprus problem compatible with the acquis communautaire.

The President explained to Mogherini the proposal he submitted to the Turkish Cypriot leader in the framework of Cyprus peace talks.

He said if his proposal was to be accepted by the Turkish Cypriot leader, then a solution could be reached before the presidential elections in February 2018.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
