[01] MAVROYIANNIS - SECURITY COUNCIL REFORM - CYPRUS
Cyprus Permanent Representative to the United Nations Andreas
Mavroyiannis underlined the benefits for Cyprus from its participation
in the General Assembly procedure for the Security Council Reform.
Mavroyiannis was speaking before UN correspondents last week, in his
capacity as member of the facilitators appointed three months ago by
chairwoman of the General Assembly Haya Rashed Al Khalifa to negotiate
with member states and make suggestions for the overall reform of the
Security Council.
Also participating in the meeting were the permanent representatives of
Tunisia, Ali Hachani, Croatia, Mirjana Mladineo, Chile, Heraldo Munoz
and the Netherlands, Frank Majoor.
[02] DEFENCE MINISTER - HEALTH
Cypriot Defence Minister Nicos Symeonides is responding to the
treatment he is receiving at Nicosia General Hospital, Health Minister
Charis Charalambous said Wednesday.
The 68-year-old Minister was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of
Nicosia General Hospital on April 3, with symptoms of infection of the
urinary system.
Charalambous told CNA that Symeonides condition was clearly more
positive and, despite the initial assessment that his condition was
very difficult, which it was, later during the night he responded
positively to the treatment he is receiving and today, during the first
medical estimation, it proved that he is responding much better.
