Washington, Sep 14 (CNA) -- Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides had a working lunch in New York yesterday with UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto for a review of recent developments in UN efforts to resume the stalled peace talks, in the light of the refusal of Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash to accept the UN chief's invitation for talks.

As Alvaro de Soto had told CNA, after his return to New York on Monday, yesterday was his first day at work to try and catch up with what is happening.
