President Nicos Anastasiades’ meeting on Wednesday with the UN secretary-general’s envoy, Jane Holl Lute lasted around two hours but she left without making any comments.
Lute arrived in Cyprus late on Tuesday to hold a second round of separate meetings with Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci as part of a fact-finding mission. She has been tasked by the UN secretary-general to continue discussions with the two sides to explore their willingness to propose new ideas as part of an overall solution.
The meeting with Anastasiades began at 11.30am and ended around two hours later. She made no statements after the meeting. Lute is scheduled to meet with Akinci at 4pm.
Before the meetings, Lute was to be briefed by the UNSG’s Special Representative in Cyprus, Elizabeth Spehar and the UN good offices mission team on the latest developments on the Cyprus problem, especially on the leaders’ meeting last Friday.
Lute will leave Cyprus early on Thursday for New York.
Foreign Minister Nicos Christodoulides said on Tuesday that Anastasiades attributes ‘special importance’ to his meeting with Lute.
The president, he said, was fully prepared for the meeting, and was looking forward to a productive discussion on specific issues, “including on issues of substance, which had led the previous effort to an unsuccessful outcome”.
