In his statements to journalists, after the commemoration of the heroes of the community of Potamos of Kampos, in Muttalos, Paphos, the Spokesman said that "the day after tomorrow, Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos will have a meeting with the UN Secretary General, Mr. Guterres.
This meeting follows the telephone communication between the President of the Republic and the Secretary General and the letter sent by the President of the Republic, which has seen the light of day.
What we hope and what this meeting aims at is for the Foreign Minister to convey to the Secretary-General in private the sincere will of our side, of the Cyprus Government, to resume the talks within the agreed framework, in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council. He will also convey to him the outcome of the actions, the initiative taken by the President of the Republic since the day he took office to engage the EU more actively and how the EU can assist the UN's efforts.
At the same time, the NATO Summit is also taking place in Vilnius, Lithuania, where both the Greek Prime Minister and our European partners will have bilateral contacts on the sidelines of the Summit with Turkish President Erdogan, where the first intentions regarding the resumption of negotiations will become apparent.
The message we are sending on every occasion is that we are ready to contribute constructively to this effort through an initiative that we have proposed, through the use, the activation of our EU membership, and we hope that both the Turkish side and our Turkish Cypriot compatriots will respond to the immediate resumption of negotiations.
The Foreign Minister will also call the UN Secretary General again on the issue of the appointment, as soon as possible, of an envoy who we believe will have a high added value to the efforts we are making."
Asked about the issue of divestments, the Spokesman said that "the Government through the Minister of Finance and following the last Cabinet meeting has sent a letter to the House of Representatives setting out the package of measures that we believe, and the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank and the Government believe, can address the issue of divestments and non-performing loans in a comprehensive and effective manner, protecting on the one hand vulnerable borrowers, our vulnerable fellow citizens, who cannot meet their obligations, not because of their own fault, but because of the high inflationary pressures and the economic crisis we have gone through, but at the same time not allowing strategic defaulters to exploit any mechanisms.
We believe that through this package of measures there is an opportunity to address this issue that has been plaguing us for almost a decade, through discussions.
We have confidence in the responsibility of the political forces that they will consider the consequences of their decisions, rise to the occasion and understand that a wrong decision in this case to suspend divestments horizontally will have a very negative impact on the entire Cypriot economy.
We must ensure both the credibility of the Cypriot economy and our fiscal stability.
