[01] GAROYIAN LONDON CONTACTS
Speaker of the British Parliament John Bercow has pledged to make every
possible effort to attend the European Speakers Conference in June,
which will take part in Cyprus.
Speaking after a meeting at the House of Commons with Cypriot House
President Marios Garoyian, Bercow said it was a pleasure and a
privilege for me to meet Mr President, my opposite number as Speaker of
his Parliament, noting they enjoyed their meeting and struck up a good
relationship.
We are of similar age; each of us has been in post as Speaker for a
fairly short time. As the President very kindly reiterated the
invitation to me to attend the European Speakers Conference in June
this year and I very much hope that I will be able and intend to be
able, if humanly possible, to be present to that important event, said
Bercow.
Earlier, Garoyian met Shadow Minister for Europe Mark Fransois in the
presence of Shadow Minister of Transport Theresa Villiers and MP Roger
Gale. In a statement, Fransois said he will continue to take an
interest in Cyprus and he hoped a conservative Government would
continue to take this interest and be in a position one day to help
bringing about a lasting settlement, which would benefit both
communities.
