Guterres' Visit to Cyprus and the Prospects for the Cyprus Issue
July 26, 2026
The United Nations is working to unlock the Cyprus issue by focusing on two keys: the European and Turkish dimensions. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is visiting Cyprus with the aim of convening an informal 5-party conference. The success of this conference depends on the commitment of the parties involved to continue negotiations. Turkey's stance is crucial, as it has not clarified whether it will modify its positions. Developments are linked to meetings that will take place during the UN General Assembly in September.
