Cyprus Backs Proliferation Security Initiative

Cyprus has agreed in principle to support the Proliferation Security Initiative, a U.S.-led effort to interdict shipments of WMD-related cargo by creating bilateral agreements on ship-boarding rules, the U.S. Embassy in Cyprus announced Friday (see GSN, March 22).

The agreement was arrived at after two days of negotiations, according to the embassy (U.S. Embassy in Cyprus release, April 8).
