The Cyprus question, along with the situation in Syria and the World Conference Rio +20, will be among the issues to be discussed at a meeting on Thursday between UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
Barroso is to take part in a conference focusing on the financial system and the world economy at UN headquarters on Thursday.
According to his spokesperson Pia Ahrenkilde issues to be discussed during the meeting include the Rio +20 Conference of June 20 – 22, the Cyprus problem and Syria.
UN-led talks are currently underway between the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus to find a negotiated settlement that would reunite the country, divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion.
