UNSG’s personal envoy for Cyprus to meet Greek PM and FM on Tuesday in Athens


Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Foreign Affairs Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis will meet on Tuesday, February 6, with the Personal Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General for Cyprus María Angela Holguín Cuéllar.

More specifically, the meeting between Holguín and Gerapetritis will take place at 10:00 a.m., according to a press release by the Greek Foreign Ministry.

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.

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres appointed María Ángela Holguín Cuéllar of Colombia as his personal envoy for Cyprus, to assume a Good Offices role on his behalf and search for common ground on the way forward in the Cyprus issue.
