UN Secretary-General António Guterres and envoy María Ángela Holguín visit Cyprus in a major diplomatic push to revive stalled peace talks.

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres and personal envoy María Ángela Holguín are scheduled to visit Cyprus in a bid to resume peace negotiations. The high-level visits mark a critical attempt to break the diplomatic stalemate on the divided island before Guterres concludes his mandate.

The diplomatic efforts aim to establish concrete deliverables that could lead to a formal restart of negotiations, which have remained stalled since the collapse of discussions in Crans-Montana in 2017. During the week, Guterres and Holguín will conduct a series of meetings with key political leaders and stakeholders across the island to assess the potential for renewed dialogue.
