The Mayor informed him in detail about the visit and contacts he had with a delegation of the Municipality of Famagusta in Washington with representatives of the White House and their presence in Congress, as well as about the contacts they had in New York with the five permanent members of the Council Security.
For his part, the President of the Republic informed the Mayor and the delegation of the Municipality of Famagusta about the meetings he had with the representative of the Secretary General (SG) of the United Nations (UN) Mrs. Holguin as well as the actions of the government in European and international level on the matter of Famagusta.

The government, on the occasion of the meeting of the President of the Republic with the Mayor of Famagusta, wants to remind the importance of the massive participation of our refugees in the upcoming election process for the election of mayors and municipal councils and other Authorities of our occupied municipalities.
