[01] BROWN CYPRUS ISSUE
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has stressed that the British
government can and will contribute to the achievement of a solution in
Cyprus.
The British Premier, who attended Wednesday a reception given at the
Foreign Office in London by British Minister for Europe, Caroline
Flint, for Cypriots living in the UK, said that the solution of the
Cyprus problem must come by Cypriots themselves.
You know that we in Britain believe that we can play a part and want to
play a part in a solution that obviously is by Cypriots but a solution
we believe we can help and do every thing we can to do so, he
underlined.
[02] MINISTER QATAR INVESTMENTS
Minister of Finance Charilaos Stavrakis has said that Cyprus is
satisfied with the progress achieved so far regarding negotiations
between Cyprus and Qatar for an investment in Nicosia on behalf of the
Arab Gulf country.
Stavrakis, who is currently in Qatar accompanying Cypriot President
Demetris Christofias during his official visit there, held a meeting
Thursday with his Qatari counterpart, during which they discussed
Qatars interest to invest in Nicosia for the construction of a hotel.
We are very satisfied with the progress of the negotiations, Stavrakis
said after the meeting, noting that the investment would create
thousands of jobs for Cypriots during and after the construction of the
hotel.
He also described the investment as possibly the greatest foreign
investment in Cyprus ever.
