Bakoyannis' Speech at the UN
28 Σεπ 2008 10:32:00
Addressing the 63rd UN General Assembly in New York, Greeces Foreign
Minister Dora Bakoyannis outlined the keynote priorities of the Greek
foreign policy. Earlier, Bakoyannis had held talks with UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon. "I was given the opportunity to remind once more
the Greek positions and the negotiations on the FYROM name dispute, and
the Secretary General was, of course, briefed on the progress of the
talks. He was also invited to Greece to attend a conference on
immigration," said Bakoyannis after her meeting with Ban Ki-moon. On
the sidelines of the UN Assembly, the Greek Foreign Minister had talks
with her Turkish counterpart Ali Babacan, with whom she discussed
Greek-Turkish relations, the Cyprus standoff and the situation in the
Caucasus. Shortly after their meeting, the two Foreign Ministers
claimed they had a "friendly conversation," offering their backing to
the efforts made by the "two leaders" in Cyprus to resolve the problem.
The meeting took place at the office of the Greek permanent
representative to the UN.
