[01] Denmark supports Cyprus' EU accession

Denmark warmly supports Cyprus' accession to the EU, said the Danish Prime Minister Mr Anders Fogh Rasmussen, after a meeting in Athens with his Greek counterpart Mr Costas Simitis on 4 April, adding that impressive progress has been made on the matter.

Mr Rasmussen pointed out that a solution of the Cyprus problem is, of course, desirable but not a precondition for accession of the island to the EU and expressed warm support for the talks between President Clerides and the Turkish-Cypriot leader Mr Rauf Denktash.

The Danish Prime Minister urged the two sides to search for a solution as soon as possible and promised that if the Cyprus problem were not solved before Denmark assumed the six-monthly rotating EU presidency, in July this year, every possible attempt would be made towards that end.

[02] President Clerides receives British MPs

British Parliamentarians, members of the "Friends of Cyprus" committee of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, are currently in Cyprus on a four-day visit headed by the Chairman of the committee, Lord Corbett.

After a meeting with President Clerides, Lord Corbett stated, inter alia, that for the past 25 years the "Friends of Cyprus" have encouraged contacts between the two communities on Cyprus.

Lord Corbett welcomed the resumption of peace talks between President Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Mr Rauf Denktash. He also expressed the committee's warm support for Cyprus' bid to join the EU and added that this helps the climate of the talks.

[03] Presentation of Credentials

Mr Stavros A. Epaminondas, Ambassador of Cyprus to Austria, presented his credentials on 3 April to His Royal Highness Prince Hans Adam II as Cyprus' Ambassador to Liechtenstein.

After presenting his letters of credence, Mr Epaminondas held talks with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Ernst Walch, which focused on the recent developments in the Cyprus problem, Cyprus' EU accession course and the bilateral relations.
