The Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders Messrs. Christodoulides and Erhürman met today at the invitation of the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General on Cyprus Ms. Maria Angela Holguin who noted that such direct dialogue is essential in order to express views, concerns and hopes. This is particularly important as we are currently in a pre-negotiation phase. Constant and direct dialogue is essential.
The leaders shared their proposals to chart a way forward to start substantive negotiations.
The leaders reviewed the work on the list of the trust-building initiatives previously put on the table and noted some of the advances achieved between both sides.
They will now continue efforts to reach agreements on the various trust-building initiatives that are on the table as well as towards the start of substantive negotiations.
