UNSG Special Representative in Cyprus hosts reception for co-chairs of Technical Committees

<description>

UN Secretary General’s Special Representative in Cyprus Colin Stewart is hosting on Tuesday evening a reception for the co-chairs of the Bicommunal Technical Committees, to offer support and encouragement. Menelaos Menelaou, the Greek Cypriot Negotiator, is also attending the event.

“Top @UN official in #Cyprus, Colin Stewart, hosts a reception for co-chairs of the Technical Committees, also attended by Greek Cypriot Negotiator, @m_menelaou and Turkish Cypriot Special Representative, Ergün Olgun, to offer support and encouragement. #UNCyprusTalks,” the UN in Cyprus posted on Twitter.

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 UN-brokered talks took place in Crans Montana, Switzerland in July 2017 but ended inconclusively.
