The informal dinner between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders, in the presence of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, will take place next Tuesday at 07.00pm (New York time), Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary General, Farhan Haq said in response to a question by the Cyprus News Agency.
“The informal dinner will be held here at the UN headquarters on Tuesday at 07.00pm. We are trying to see whether we can get a photo opportunity for the media coverage on that day,” he noted.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkey invaded and occupied its northern third. Repeated rounds of UN-led peace talks have so far failed to yield results. The latest round of negotiations, in July 2017 at the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana ended inconclusively. Guterres invited the President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides and the Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar on October 15, in New York, for an informal meeting.
