Informal Meeting on Cyprus, UN Geneva: arrivals and meeting - 18 March 2025

Fresh talks over the future of Cyprus continued on Tuesday as representatives of the divided Mediterranean island gathered at the UN in Geneva along with guarantors Greece, Türkiye and the United Kingdom at the request of UN chief António Guterres.

The UN has led negotiations towards a settlement of the issues which led to the division of the island, with the Security Council authorising a peacekeeping force in 1964, UNFICYP. In the absence of a lasting agreement, the force remains on the island to supervise ceasefire lines, a buffer zone and to support humanitarian activities.

Mr. Guterres attempted to bring the two sides together in 2017 at the Swiss Alpine resort of Crans-Montana but talks ultimately broke down. A further push was made in 2021.

The meeting takes place “in the context of the Secretary-General’s good offices’ efforts on the Cyprus issue”, in line with his commitment to continue efforts made last October, explained the UN chief's Spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric in a recent briefing in New York.

“The informal meeting will provide an opportunity for a meaningful discussion on the way forward on the Cyprus issue,” Mr Dujarric said.

“The United Nations remains committed to supporting the Cypriot leaders and all Cypriots.”
