Secretary of State Kerry Announces Cyprus Trip
Today, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced his upcoming travels to Cyprus.
During a State Deparment meeting with Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides, Kerry complimented the Greek Cypriots regarding their solution efforts and "long sought-after resolution".
Kerry commented, "We have been working on the issue of trying to find a peace for Cyprus, a reunification of the island on a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation". He confirmed the United State's very supported stance, concerning the recently resumed UN headed talks over the divided island.
The Secretary of State added,"It's my hope to be in Nicosia and perhaps in Athens somewhere in the next weeks if not early months". When discussing Cyprus, he claimed that, "....we want to try to be helpful in this process" and highlighted "new economic opportunities in the energy sector".
