| Taken Questions Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC May 29, 2003 Question Taken at Daily Press Briefing of May 29, 2003 Cyprus ConsultationsQuestion: Will Tom Weston, Special Coordinator for Cyprus, start a new round of talks while visiting Athens and Ankara? Answer: Special Cyprus Coordinator Weston will be engaging in normal consultations in Brussels, Rome, Athens, Nicosia and Ankara from June 9 to 20. However, it is the U.S. goal to see the two sides on Cyprus resume negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations Good Offices Mission for Cyprus, on the basis of Secretary General Annan's settlement plan. We believe these negotiations should resume as soon as possible. |
