Papandreou: we can look to the future with self-confidence

Larnaca, Sep 10 (CNA) -- Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou said here today that Cyprus and Greece can look to the future with self-confidence, noting that current circumstances create a new momentum for a political settlement in Cyprus.

Speaking on arrival for two days of talks with the government, Papandreou said it was pivotal for Cyprus to be very involved within the European Union, which it will join in May 2004, and added that Cyprus can play a very significant role in the Middle East and the Arab world as an EU member.

''No solution is not an option,'' he said.

Welcoming Papandreou to Cyprus, Foreign Minister Giorgos Iakovou said there are many current issues to discuss, apart from the political question, and praised the ''harmonious'' bilateral ties.

''We have set out common goals and joint policies to follow,'' he said.

Cyprus' role as EU member high on the agenda of talks

Larnaca, Sep 10 (CNA) -- Greek Foreign Minister George Papandreou, who began talks here today with his Cypriot counterpart Giorgos Iakovou, has stressed that Cyprus' future role within the European Union, as a full member, is also a priority, apart from the effort to solve the political question.

In his remarks on arrival, he talked about different circumstances at present and a new momentum in the peace effort and urged Cyprus and the EU to make the most out of their new relationship that would emerge from Cyprus' accession in May 2004.

Iakovou said common decisions will be taken at the bilateral talks on the question of Cyprus, the Republic's post-accession course, the role and involvement within the EU and international issues of mutual interest.
