Yesterday the United Nations announced that former Foregin Minister Alexander Downer has been formally appointed to a position in Cyprus after his retirement from politics earlier this month.

NUGAS welcomes this appointment of Alexander Downer to the post as the United Nation's special envoy for Cyprus and feels that the Cyprus issue is one of the most important issues all governments should help resolve. We feel that the appointment of Alexander Downer is beneficial to the Cypriot cause, and that he will be a benefical asset to Cyprus.

We hope that the former foreign minister much success in his new career, and look forward to reconcilliation in Cyprus.
