    [05] President Clerides - Greek government - Cyprus proximity talks

    New York, Sep 18 (CNA) -- President Glafcos Clerides described a meeting he had here today with the UN Secretary-General's special adviser for Cyprus Alvaro de Soto as "very good", but refrained from disclosing its content abiding by a news blackout on issues relating to the proximity talks requested by the UN.

    Speaking to reporters after the 70-minute meeting at UN headquarters in New York, President Clerides said "an exchange of views took place" and left for his hotel, where he will brief the members of the National Council, the top advisory body to the president on the Cyprus question comprising parliamentary party leaders, on his talks with de Soto.
