UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Cyprus this morning, and will, among other things, meet with the President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, on Tuesday.
In a post on the “X” platform, the Secretary-General stated that “I have just arrived in Cyprus to express my commitment to support the communities in Cyprus, to find a comprehensive and lasting solution to the Cyprus problem.”
The United Nations, he continued, "cannot impose peace" but "only Cypriots, through their leaders, can build it."
Mr. Guterres will be accompanied by his Personal Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, who yesterday had meetings with President Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erciurman.
The UN Secretary-General will meet with President Christodoulides, while Guterres' meeting with the Turkish Cypriot leader is scheduled a little later, at 11.45.
At noon, the UN chief will lay a wreath at the Peacekeepers' Monument, outside Ledra Palace, and at 4:00 p.m. he will visit the laboratory of the Committee of Inquiry on Missing Persons (CMP).
Subsequently, meetings have been scheduled with the negotiators, the heads of the Technical Committees and representatives of civil society.
In the evening, the UN Secretary-General will participate in a private dinner with the two leaders at the Residence of Special Representative Hashim Dian at Nicosia Airport.
On Wednesday morning, Mr. Guterres will have a joint meeting with the two leaders at Nicosia Airport and immediately afterwards will give a Press Conference before departing from Cyprus.
