UN chief to meet Cypriot leaders in Nicosia
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will visit Cyprus from July 27 to 29 for talks with Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman and Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides, the United Nations has announced.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Guterres would meet the leaders of both communities and other stakeholders to discuss efforts to advance the peace process and support stability on the island, including through the work of the U.N. peacekeeping force, UNFICYP.
According to diplomatic sources, Guterres is expected to meet Erhürman and Christodoulides separately before bringing them together for a joint meeting in the U.N.-controlled buffer zone.
He is also due to meet members of bicommunal technical committees and civil society groups.
