Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will take part in an informal meeting on Cyprus under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary-General, to be held in New York on July 16–17, the Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.

The gathering will include broader participation and follow a similar meeting hosted in Geneva in March. It aims to facilitate an exchange of views on developments in six key cooperation areas previously agreed upon by the Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot sides.

Cyprus is split between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. Greek Cypriots control the southern part of the island and are recognized by the international community as a state, despite protests from Turkish Cypriots and Turkey. The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), located in the northern part of the island, is recognized by Turkey, which is a guarantor state in the resolution of the longstanding “Cyprus question.” TRNC President Ersin Tatar and Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides will join Fidan, Guterres, as well as the foreign minister of Greece, George Gerapettis and the U.K. Minister of State for Europe, North America and Overseas Territories, Stephen Doughty. Greece and the U.K. are other guarantor states in the process.
