Holguin arrives in Cyprus on Sunday, meets with President on Monday

The UNSG’s Personal Envoy María Ángela Holguín Cuéllar arrives in Cyprus on Sunday for contacts with both sides in preparation for the informal expanded meeting on 16–17 July in New York.

CNA has learnt that Holguin will meet President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides on Monday at 11am.

Her meeting with Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar has not been confirmed yet.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third.

The informal meeting, which will take place at the headquarters of the international organisation in New York on July 16 and 17, was announced on Wednesday, by the Spokesperson of the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, who said that it would provide an opportunity to continue the dialogue and exchange views on the progress made since March.
