by Maria Chrysanthou Nicosia, Jun 23 (CNA) -- Palestinian Minister of
Planning and International Cooperation Nabeel Shaath has stressed the
desire of the Palestinian National Authority for closer cooperation with
Cyprus in the fields of communications, tourism and business, pointing out
that his meetings here with President Glafcos Clerides and other officials
have been very positive and fruitful and that the exchange of visits aiming
at the development of bilateral ties will continue.

comprising officials of the Palestinian National Authority and businessmen
will visit Cyprus in October and that a Cyprus Airways delegation will be
visiting Palestinian Autonomous Areas in the next couple of weeks to study
the prospects of cooperation with Palestinian Airlines.

[02] Cyprus - Turkish President - Talks
Nicosia, Jun 23 (CNA) – The Cyprus government considers statements by
Turkey's President on Cyprus outside the negotiating framework for a
solution and would like to believe that such positions will not find their
way to the negotiating table.
"One cannot be optimistic when one hears statements of this kind, nor can
one see any prospect for the new round of talks," Government Spokesman
Michalis Papapetrou said here today, barely two weeks before the UN-led
talks are due to resume in Geneva.
