United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday he planned to convene a multi-party meeting on the division of Cyprus to define the way forward on resolving a conflict which has lasted more than half a century.
“I decided that I would convene another five plus one meeting, after adequate preparations on confidence building, methodology and substance,” Guterres told journalists in Nicosia, Cyprus’s divided capital. The meeting would include Greece, Britain and Turkey, which are guarantor powers of Cyprus’ independence. [Reuters]
