Nicosia:A trilateral meeting involving the leaders of the two communities of Cyprus and the United Nations Secretary-General's Personal Envoy is set to take place this morning. According to Cyprus News Agency, the meeting will be hosted by María Ángela Holguín, the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General, at the Chief of Mission Residency inside the UN Protected Area. The Turkish Cypriot leader, Mr. Tufan Erhrman, and the Greek Cypriot leader, Mr. Nikos Christodoulides, are expected to attend. The Greek Cypriot President, Nikos Christodoulides, has previously emphasized the importance of political will in resuming talks, noting that the Greek Cypriot side has consistently put forward proposals aimed at advancing negotiations. The island of Cyprus has remained divided since 1974 following Turkey's invasion and occupation of its northern third. Numerous UN-led peace talks have not produced significant results, largely due to what has been described as Turkish intransigence. The most recent negotiations in July 2017, held at the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana, ended without resolution. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, whose term is nearing completion, has announced plans to convene another broader meeting, contingent on adequate preparation. This initiative has the support of both Cypriot sides and the guarantor powers. Holguín, as Guterres' Personal Envoy, is responsible for engaging with the parties involved. Additionally, Executive Vice-President Raffaele Fitto serves as the European Commission's Special Representative for Cyprus.
