We continue our efforts to achieve our goal, which is the resumption of talks on the Cyprus problem leading to a solution to the problem, President of the Republic Nicos Christodoulides said today, welcoming the announcement by the UN Secretary General's envoy for confidence building.
Speaking to reporters in Dali, and asked about the statement issued by the Personal Envoy of the United Nations Secretary General for the Cyprus problem, Mrs. María Ángela Holguín, which referred to confidence building, the President of the Republic said that "it is necessary to build confidence between the Republic of Cyprus and Turkey."
I welcome the fact that she issued this statement to everyone. I am in constant contact with Ms. Holguín, she may not be in Cyprus, but we are in constant contact, she will come to Cyprus to continue her efforts.
It is also important that the announcement that all this effort is coming out of the terms of reference of the Secretary-General, the specific framework for a solution, which is none other than a bizonal bicommunal federation. And this effort continues.
Despite the difficulties, despite the challenges, there is no choice but to do everything possible to resume the talks, to build on the acquis to date and to achieve the objective, which is none other than the resolution of the Cyprus problem."
Asked if there is anything from the other side that seems to open a window for the resumption of the dialogue, President Christodoulides said that "there are many contacts, there are many meetings, not everything is made public. At the end of the day everyone and everything will be judged by the final result. So let us not get ahead of ourselves. We continue the effort and we really hope, because there is no other option, to achieve our goal".
