[01] Mauritius condemns occupation of Cyprus by Turkey
The Republic of Mauritius condemns unreservedly the continuous occupation
of a large part of Cyprus territory by Turkey and will continue to give
every possible support both at the UN Security Council and other international
fora for a just solution to the Cyprus problem within the framework of the
UN resolutions on Cyprus. This was stated by the President of the Republic
of Mauritius, Mr Cassam Uteem at the presentation of the credentials of the
New High Commissioner of Cyprus, Mr Elias Eliades, to his country.
The Cypriot Commissioner briefed Mr Uteem both on the recent developments
in the Cyprus problem and Cyprus/ accession process towards the European
Union. The President of Mauritius expressed the hope that Cyprus/ accession
to the EU would serve as a bridge for friendly countries, like the Republic
of Mauritius, towards the united Europe.
The two men had also discussed ways for further enhancement of the
bilateral cooperation, especially in the field of tourism.
