Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to attend UN-led Cyprus meeting in Geneva

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has announced that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will participate in an informal meeting on Cyprus, set to take place under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary-General in Geneva on March 17-18, 2025.
According to the ministry’s statement, the meeting will be held in a broader format, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss the ongoing Cyprus issue. The informal gathering is expected to explore possible avenues for resolving the longstanding dispute between the island’s two communities.
Türkiye has consistently emphasized the need for a fair, lasting, and sustainable solution to the Cyprus issue, advocating for the recognition of the rights and equal status of the Turkish Cypriot people in any future settlement.
The upcoming Geneva meeting follows previous diplomatic efforts facilitated by the United Nations, though past talks have failed to yield a breakthrough. Minister Hakan Fidan’s participation underscores Türkiye’s continued engagement and commitment to finding a just solution to the Cyprus question.
Further details on the agenda and expected outcomes of the meeting are yet to be disclosed. (ILKHA)
