answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>We welcome the courageous leadership of President Anastasiades and Mr Akıncı on the Cyprus Settlement negotiations, and the efforts of the two sides in their recent talks in Mont Pelerin. As the UN has commented, despite their best efforts, the Leaders were not at this stage able to reach the necessary further convergences on the criteria for territorial adjustment while in Switzerland.
