Greek FM to meet UNSG’s Personal Envoy for Cyprus on Tuesday

Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis will meet with the UNSG’s Personal Envoy for Cyprus, María Angela Holguín Cuéllar, on Tuesday, May 14, in Athens.

‘Minister of Foreign Affairs George Gerapetritis will meet tomorrow, Tuesday, May 14 at 10:30 a.m., with the Personal Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General on Cyprus, María Angela Holguín Cuéllar’, the Greek Foreign Ministry said on Monday in a press release.

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 Columbia 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.
