[01] CYPRIOT FM PARIS - DONORS CONFERENCE - PALESTINIANS
Cypriot Foreign Minister Erato Kozakou-Marcoullis departs for Paris to
take part in a conference aimed at offering financial and other aid to
the Palestinians.
The conference will be the largest international gathering of donors
for the Palestinian Territories since a conference held in Paris in
1996.
The aim is to mobilise the donors, following the Annapolis conference,
and to provide financial and political support to the Palestinian
Authority. This support should enable the Palestinian Authority to
develop the capacities to build a viable state.
France, the host country, will chair the conference.
An official statement said Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Finance and
Development from around 60 countries would take part as well as 20
international organizations.
During the conference, Marcoullis will announce financial assistance by
the Republic of Cyprus to the Palestinian Authority.
