CYPRUS: UN envoy to meet in London and Athens before filing report on peace prospects

UN envoy Jane Holl Lute will submit a report to UN chief Antonio Guterres on the outcome of her consultations with all parties interested in the Cyprus problem around September 17, according to CNA.

Lute is expected to meet Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias in Athens on September 11.

In London she will meet British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Minister for Europe Sir Alan Duncan, probably during the first ten days of September. Then on to Brussels with the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini, probably on September 13.

Lute met in Ankara on July 30 with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and had separate meetings on July 23 in Cyprus with President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci.

President Anastasiades has expressed to Lute his readiness to re-engage into dialogue for a Cyprus settlement.

He is scheduled to arrive in New York on September 23 for the UN General Assembly, on the sidelines of which he will have a meeting with the UN Secretary General.

Nicosia does not rule out the possibility of a joint meeting between Guterres, Anastasiades and Akinci after the UN General Assembly if it is proposed by the UN.

Cyprus talks have been in limbo for 13 months after a Swiss peace summit collapsed last year.
