Cyprus Government Aims for Broader Informal Meeting on Cyprus Issue This Summer

July 2, 2026

The Cypriot government's primary objective is to hold a broad informal meeting on the Cyprus problem this summer, according to Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis. He noted that the UN Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, recognizes the EU's role in the UN's efforts, a point also supported by recent joint statements from EU officials and the Turkish Foreign Minister. The government seeks this meeting not as an end in itself, but as a platform to announce the resumption of negotiations for a Cyprus solution.
