    Washington, Jan 18 (CNA) -- US Secretary of State designate General Colin Powell has said Washington will remain engaged in the effort to find a settlement of the Cyprus question, which he described as "very important."

    Speaking at the confirmation hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he also said the US will try to play a useful role in Cyprus and encourage Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to engage in the UN peace process, which he said the US expects to continue to back.

    [02] Civil servants - Work stoppage

    Nicosia, Jan 18 (CNA) -- Civil servants are staging a two-hour work stoppage today, only a day after bank employees did the same, to protest against a bill to introduce a national health scheme for all Cypriots.

    Civil servants want to be excluded from the scheme and warn of more action, if the bill gets through the House of Representatives.

    [03] Belgian State Secretary - Cyprus Foreign Minister - Talks

    Nicosia, Jan 18 (CNA) - Belgian State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Annemie Neyts, said here today after talks with Cyprus' Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides, that she would be raising the issue of Cyprus peace talks with Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, when she meets him later today in the Turkish-occupied part of Cyprus.

    Neyts noted that the Belgian constitution, which is a federation combining many diversities, works and that it can also work in the case of Cyprus, as long as the political will is there, noting that she would ask Denktash today why he was adamant in not attending a new round of UN-led talks on the Cyprus problem.
