Cyprus Talks: UN Envoy Reports Limited Progress

The UN Secretary-General's Personal Envoy, Maria Angela Holguin, stated that there has been limited progress in the Cyprus talks. She emphasized that convergence on Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) is a necessary prerequisite for convening a comprehensive conference. Holguin will meet with the leaders of both communities to discuss the methodology proposed by Ercuhrman. If no progress is made, organizing a 5+1 meeting will be very difficult.
