The United Nations will “do everything possible” to supports efforts by Cyprus’ two communities to reach a settlement, world body’s chief Antiono Guterres said on July 28, as he met with the leaders on the ethnically-divided island.
“We are determined to do everything we can to support the two communities in their search for a solution,” Guterres said, before his meeting with Turkish Cypriot President Tufan Erhürman.
The U.N. chief arrived on the divided island on July 27. He began the second day of his visit with talks in Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides before crossing to the Turkish Cypriot side for his meeting with Erhürman.
