The President of the Republic Mr. Glafcos Clerides received yesterday the
credentials of the new High Commissioner of Australia Franz Johann Ingruber
and of the first Moroccan Ambassador to Cyprus Mr. Nouredine Sefiani.
Presenting his credentials Mr. Ingruber stressed his country's support to
"the UN Secretary-General's efforts, aided by the US, the United Kingdom,
the European Union and a number of other countries to find a just and
viable solution/ to the Cyprus problem."
He noted that "a settlement of the dispute is long overdue" and that "like
the rest of the international community, we strongly hope that the
forthcoming third round of UN-led proximity talks will be able to make
substantive progress".
Morocco's Ambassador to Cyprus Mr. Sefiani said that his appointment to
Cyprus expresses the ambition of the Moroccan government "to give a new
impetus to our relations in all areas especially in those where there is a
room for further improvement like trade, business, tourism, cultural
affairs and human exchanges".
He expressed Morocco's great admiration for the achievements of Cyprus in
many fields as a very dynamic and performing economy and stressed his
country's profound respect and friendship for the Cypriot people.
