The mandate of the UN peacekeeping force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) is expected to be renewed every one year and not every six months from now on.
In the resolution of the United Nations Security Council that is expected to be approved today, Monday, January 30, at the headquarters of the international organization, the renewal of UNFICYP's mandate is expected to be for 12 months and not for six months as before.
The Cypriot government has given its consent to this, on the understanding that the reports of the UN Secretary General on Cyprus will be issued regularly every six months, so that the Cyprus issue can be discussed.
