Greek foreign minister Dimitris Droutsas will meet in New York with UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon next week, after a visit to Cyprus.
Droutsas is due to meet with the UN chief on Friday, February 18, for talks
focusing on the Cyprus issue ahead of Ban's submission of his report to the UN Security Council later in the month. The foreign minister will meet earlier Friday with Archbishop Demetrios of America.
Earlier in the week, Droutsas will arrive in Cyprus on Monday for a two-day visit to Cyprus, on the heels of a scheduled meeting on Thursday in Athens with the UN secretary general's special advisor on the Cyprus issue, Alexander Downer.
In Nicosia, Cyprus government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said the visit is in the context of the contacts and coordination between Athens and Nicosia, adding that developments in the Cyprus issue will be discussed, while views will be exchanged on the next steps.
