UN envoy holds Brussels talks ahead of Guterres’ Cyprus visit
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ personal envoy on Cyprus, Maria Angela Holguin, has held talks with senior European Union officials in Brussels ahead of the U.N. chief’s July 27-29 visit to the island.
Holguin met European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Raffaele Fitto, the Commission’s newly appointed special representative for Cyprus.
The discussions focused on supporting U.N.-led efforts to revive long-stalled negotiations.
Von der Leyen welcomed Holguin’s engagement and said the Commission would support efforts to resolve the Cyprus issue within the U.N. framework and in line with EU principles and law, using “all the assistance and tools at our disposal.”
