UN Secretary-General António Guterres will visit Cyprus later this month to support ongoing peace negotiations between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The trip aims to advance efforts to resolve the decades-long division of the island. This visit occurs amid increasing expectations that the UN will initiate a renewed attempt to find a solution before Guterres’ term concludes at year-end. Cyprus has been split since 1974, following a Turkish invasion prompted by a brief Greek Cypriot coup. Previous UN-led talks have repeatedly failed to yield a comprehensive settlement. Guterres hopes to reinvigorate the process and potentially pave the way for a more unified future for the island nation. The UN spokesperson confirmed the upcoming travel plans on Thursday, signaling a concentrated focus on the Cyprus issue.
