    US Ambassador says Annan plan can be further improved

    by Apostolis Zoupaniotis

    New York, Jan 13 (CNA) -- The Annan plan for a Cyprus settlement, the fact that there has been a great increase in interaction between the two communities on the island, plus the political field in Cyprus' Turkish occupied north are developments that are pushing in the right direction, US Ambassador in Nicosia Michael Klosson said here Monday addressing a gathering organised by the Cyprus Federation of America and the International Coordinating Committee - Justice for Cyprus (PSEKA).

    Klosson noted that the UN Secretary General's peace plan ''is a very comprehensive plan that can be further improved, but theres an enormous amount of good work that has gone into it, and its on the table in a way that previous UN proposals had been less fleshed out. This is a plan that after some further discussion and negotiation could be put to a vote,'' he added.

    Referring to Europe the US Ambassador said ''it has been a catalyst to the extent that weve seen progress in recent years and remains a catalyst.''
