United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres plans to hold an informal meeting to discuss ways to restart deadlocked peace talks on the divided island of Cyprus involving Turkish and Greek Cypriots and the three guarantor countries, including Turkey, Greece and the U.K. in April, his spokesman said Wednesday.
“Following the consultations conducted on behalf of the Secretary-General by a senior U.N. official, Ms. Jane Holl Lute, over the past several months, the Secretary-General intends to convene an informal five-plus-one meeting on the Cyprus issue in Geneva, Switzerland, from 27 to 29 April 2021,” said Stephane Dujarric in a statement.
“The purpose of the meeting will be to determine whether a common ground exists for the parties to negotiate a lasting solution to the Cyprus problem within a foreseeable horizon,” he said.
