Government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis emphasized the importance of evaluating all parties involved in the Cyprus issue based on their true intentions and willingness to contribute constructively to the United Nations' efforts to resolve the long-standing conflict. He highlighted that the conditions for meaningful progress are present and affirmed that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres would not have launched a new initiative without the prospect of tangible results.

Ahead of a scheduled meeting on Thursday between President Nikos Christodoulides and European Council President Antonio Costa, discussions will focus on the latest developments regarding Guterres’ peace initiative. Letymbiotis underscored the critical role of the European Union, stating that its engagement is vital and could effectively support the UN in advancing substantive negotiations towards a settlement.
