Among other things, he continued, the two Ministers talked about the 3 + 1 mechanism with Greece and Israel and jointly expressed the view of returning to the agreement on political dynamics.
The two Ministers, Mr. Dimitriou said, discussed a number of bilateral and regional issues, including the importance of coordinating actions in support of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They also stressed the importance of increasing scientific cooperation on issues such as climate change and emerging technologies through the forthcoming signing of a bilateral Agreement on Science and Technology.
The US Secretary of State expressed the United States’ continuous support for efforts to resolve the Cyprus issue under the auspices of the United Nations, based on a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with political equality for the benefit of all Cypriots, and Mr. Kasoulides conveyed the President’s proposal for Varosia, concluded Mr. Dimitriou.
