[01] CYPRUS TALKS - MEETING

Speaking after the meeting that lasted almost five and a half hours, UN Secretary General`s Special Advisor on Cyprus, Alexander Downer said that the leaders spent a fairly long amount of time today focusing on the issue of governance and power-sharing.

Leaders did discuss governance and power-sharing, and they will be meeting again on Friday (5 August) in a similar format. And well take up from where weve left off today and focus on governance and power-sharing, he said.

Downer reiterated that the UN consider that the less is said publicly about what happens in the discussions the more the chance is of having a degree of success in the negotiations. These are very difficult negotiations, as we all know. We need to make sure that they are conducted in a way that maximizes the opportunity for reaching agreement. With that in mind we try to keep the contents of the discussion at this stage, during this intensive stage, as confidential as possible; thats a very important component of the process, he said.
