2 March, 2017The US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has stated that he appreciates the efforts to find a solution for a bi-zonal, bi-communal federal agreement, adding that the new US government is ready to provide its support.
Tillerson called President Mustafa Akıncı earlier this week, receiving a briefing on the Cyprus negotiations. Tillerson stressed that a solution in Cyprus is important not only for the two societies in the island but for the entire region.
President Akıncı also received a thank you letter from former US Secretary of State John Kerry, who handed over his role to Rex Tillerson when the new US administration came to office. In his letter, Kerry stated that the leadership and vision President Akıncı has shown have contributed greatly to reaching to the last stage of the negotiations in Cyprus, by holding a five-party conference.
President Akıncı also attended the lunch given by Pakistani Prime Minister Navaz Şerif, in honour of the leaders who attended the Economic Cooperation Organization Summit.
