Reeker and Christodoulides discuss regional developments and Pompeo visit to Cyprus in telephone conversation

Developments in the Eastern Mediterranean region and determining the date of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visit to Cyprus, which was postponed due to the crisis with Iran, were the focus of a telephone conversation between US Acting Assistant Secretary of European and Eurasian Affairs Philip Reeker and Cyprus Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Christodoulides, on Friday. 

The State Department considers that Pompeo`s visit to the island would likely take place in Spring, diplomatic sources have said. 

Pompeo was already set to sign a bilateral agreement during his visit and since the new timeframe allows it, the two men agreed to examine the possibility of signing one more agreement, out of two discussed during the Cypriot Foreign Affairs Minister visit in Washington last November.
