The informal expanded conference on the Cyprus problem will take place in New York on 16–17 July, according to confirmed information from both the UN and President Nikos Christodoulides.
Speaking during a visit to the Cyprus Presidency’s EU Council Secretariat, the President said the dates had been finalised and only the official announcement from the United Nations is pending.
The Cyprus talks in New York are seen as a crucial next step in efforts to resume negotiations, with President Christodoulides expressing hope for a constructive outcome. The meeting is expected to bring together key stakeholders for an informal but strategically important round of dialogue under the auspices of the UN.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres’ personal envoy, María Ángela Holguín, will conduct high-level visits to London and Brussels ahead of the meeting and is scheduled to return to Cyprus for further consultations beforehand.
President Christodoulides described Holguín’s meetings as “important” and emphasised the government’s commitment to preparing for the summit in a way that allows “a positive result to be achieved.”
This round of Cyprus talks in New York is not expected to yield immediate breakthroughs, but it may serve as a platform to rebuild momentum after years of stalled negotiations. With international attention focused on broader regional instability, the UN is said to be keen on ensuring progress is made.
