UN envoy embarks on effort to resume Cyprus peace talks

Jan 31, 2024

Nicosia [Cyprus], January 31: An envoy for United Nations (UN) Secretary General Antonio Guterres embarked on efforts Tuesday in Nicosia to resume the Cyprus peace negotiations.
UN envoy Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar said she was ready to contribute to the resumption of the peace process.
She met with Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar separately.
During the meeting, Christodoulides reiterated his commitment to create conditions for the resumption of talks, according to a spokesman of the Cyprus government.
Tatar said after meeting with Holguin that he stressed the need for a two-state solution in Cyprus leading to a Turkish Cypriot sovereign state.
Cyprus was partitioned when Türkiye sent troops to the island's northern part in 1974 in response to a Greek coup at the time. Several rounds of UN-led efforts to negotiate an agreement for the divided island have been inconclusive to date.
Holguin, former foreign minister of Colombia, is scheduled to stay in Cyprus for about 10 days to meet other officials and for more meetings, including with civil society groups from the two communities.
