WNAM MONITORING: The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) presented a 10-point proposal to improve daily coordination and explore avenues for a political solution on the island, following a high-level meeting on Thursday between TRNC President Tufan Erhurman and Southern Cyprus leader Nikos Christodoulides.
The meeting in the United Nations controlled buffer zone was the first direct engagement between the two leaders and took place at the official residence of the UN Secretary-General’s special representative, with the UN describing the talks as held in a “cordial atmosphere.”
Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar, the UN Secretary-General’s personal envoy on Cyprus, joined the initial part of the 90-minute session via video conference, while the final 15 minutes were reserved for a private discussion between the two leaders.
