In a a post on Twitter, the State Department Bureau said Donfried met Stewart “to discuss the important work of #UNFICYP and continued U.S. support for @UN facilitated, Cypriot-led efforts to reunify the island as a bizonal, bicommunal federation.”
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. The latest round of talks under UN aegis in the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana in 2017 ended inconclusively.
