Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General, Colin Stewart, has addressed the concerns raised regarding recent media reports, rejecting the allegations of bias, and underlined the UN’s commitment to continue working with both sides with complete impartiality, UNFICYP Spokesperson Aleem Siddique told CNA on Friday.
Siddique said that during a meeting today between the Special Representative of the Secretary-General and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kornelios Korneliou, “Stewart addressed concerns raised regarding recent media reports, rejecting the allegations of bias. He underlined the UN’s commitment to continue working with both sides with complete impartiality.”
He also noted that unfortunately Stewart will be temporarily away from Cyprus due to a family emergency.
According to reports, the health of his father has deteriorated and as a result, he has to go to Canada urgently to see him, and will return to Cyprus as soon as possible.
