Peace talks between the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot sides resumed in Nicosia on Wednesday, in the wake of last week's meetings in Paris between the UN Secretary General and the leaders of the two communities on the island.
As the CNA reports, President Glafcos Clerides and Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash met for about an hour, in the presence of their respective advisers and with Kofi Annan's special adviser on Cyprus Alvaro de Soto keeping a watchful eye on what is said and done at the negotiating table.
The two leaders will meet again on Friday morning.
Wednesday's meeting was the first since the Paris encounter during which the Secretary General asked both sides to intensify their efforts to achieve progress towards a negotiated settlement and report to him at a meeting in New York in early October.
