The 18th International Conference of Overseas Cypriots (POMAK-PSEKA) and Executive Council of the Organisation of Young Overseas Cypriots (NEPOMAK) wrapped up in Nicosia last week.
The main subject addressed during the conference was the ongoing Cyprus problem, with members united in welcoming the progress of negotiations between President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci.
Satisfaction with the current climate was expressed across the board, with talks seemingly moving in a positive direction thanks to Mr Akinci’s recent election and the sentiment he has publicly expressed in moving forward on the issue.
According to a statement issued after the conference, the various committees expressed their determination to work tirelessly “with firm commitment and in a result-oriented manner towards a solution to the Cyprus problem, which will reunite Cyprus and its people, secure the human rights and fundamental freedoms of all Cypriots, as well as their common future within the EU”.
During the deliberations, the Pancyprian Coordinating Committee (PSEKA) took the opportunity to elect its leadership, resulting in the re-election of Philip Christopher as president.
