Leaders to Discuss Turkish Cypriot Intentions on Confidence-Building Measures During August 26 Meeting
Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman are set to meet on August 26 to discuss whether the Turkish Cypriot side intends to make progress on confidence-building measures (CBMs), particularly regarding crossing points. This follows earlier discussions in the presence of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who has proposed initiatives that the Greek Cypriot side has positively received.
Preparatory meetings between negotiators from both sides are expected ahead of the August 26 summit. Meanwhile, efforts continue to prepare for an expanded Cyprus peace conference, where recent agreements are being compiled and will be shared with involved parties including guarantor states. The aim is for the upcoming expanded meeting to decide on launching substantive peace talks.
The UN Secretary-General previously announced plans to convene a 5+1 meeting after sufficient preparation focusing on CBMs, methodology, and substance, taking into account progress made so far. The August 26 leaders’ meeting represents a crucial step in this ongoing diplomatic process.
