President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman agreed on Tuesday to proceed with initiatives on the environment and the exchange of cultural artefacts, and to meet again next week to continue their talks, the United Nations said.
The two leaders welcomed the arrival in Cyprus on 29 October of Maria Angela Holguin, the UN Secretary-General’s personal envoy, and said they looked forward to their separate meetings with her and to a trilateral meeting scheduled for 9 November, according to a UN statement.
The leaders held what the UN described as a constructive meeting under UN auspices in the UN-protected area in Nicosia, where they continued their discussions on confidence-building measures, methodology and the substance of the Cyprus problem.
Before Holguin arrives, the two leaders intend to meet the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage, the Technical Committee on Youth and the coordinating committee of the Civil Society Consultative Body.
