[01] Cyprus and Sao Tome and Principe establish diplomatic relations

The Cyprus Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Sotos Zackheos, and the Charge d' Affaires of Sao Tome and Principe, Mr Dominos Augusto Ferreira, signed at the Cyprus Mission in New York on 8 November, a protocol establishing diplomatic relations between Cyprus and Sao Tome and Principe. The two representatives expressed their wish to strengthen friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Zackheos referred to common challenges and problems faced by their small island states, especially with regard to environment and security. He also referred to the UN meeting for small island states to be hosted in Cyprus in January 2001, in which he hoped Sao Tome and Principe would participate.

On his part, Mr Ferreira said that his country always supports the Cyprus problem in the United Nations and other international fora.

[02] Cyprus supports Yugoslavia's participation in European institutions

The Cyprus Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Michalis Attalides, expressed the Cyprus Government's support for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's application for membership to the Council of Europe and for its participation in European institutions.

Speaking at the 107th Session of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on 9 November 2000, Mr Attalides welcomed the presence of the new President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Mr President Vojislav Kostunica, to the Council of Europe. He expressed the hope that a new period will begin in Yugoslavia's relations with Europe that will contribute towards the development and progress of the people of the country.

Mr Attalides also welcomed the Committee of Ministers' decision to invite simultaneously Armenia and Azerbaijan to join the Organisation, and expressed the view that such a development would contribute to efforts to settle problems that exist in the relations between the two countries.
