Belgian State Secretary - Spokesman - Statement
Nicosia, Jan 20 (CNA) -- The Belgian government stressed today it sees the
Republic of Cyprus as a single, sovereign state and recognizes, in line
with the UN position, the equal status of the parties in a future united
Cyprus.
Brussels also expressed its full commitment to the UN peace process on
Cyprus and to the European Union Helsinki principles, which do not consider
a settlement of the Cyprus question a precondition to the Republic's
