FM discusses bilateral ties, Cyprus question, international issues with counterpart in Kazakhstan


Cyprus FM Constantinos Kombos met on Monday with his counterpart Murat Nurtleu in Astana, Kazakhstan, where he is paying an official visit.

Kombos said in a post on platform X that they discussed bilateral ties, regional and international developments and the Cyprus issue.

“A pleasure to begin my official visit to Astana today with substantive and in-depth discussions with Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu,” he noted.

He said that they had the opportunity to assess the level and depth of Cyprus-Kazakstan bilateral relations, as well as its immense potential.

“I briefed my counterpart on the Cyprus problem, and exhanged views on EU-Kazakhstan relations as well as regional and international developments,” he noted.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. Repeated rounds of UN-led peace talks have so far failed to yield results. The latest round of negotiations, in July 2017 at the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana ended inconclusively.
