<p>The UK remains committed to supporting the UN process to reach a Cyprus Settlement,
which will be good for Cyprus, regional stability and UK interests. On 27-29 April,
in support of the efforts led by the UN Secretary General to find common ground on
a way forward to resolve the Cyprus Issue, the Foreign Secretary represented the UK
as a Guarantor Power at informal UN talks in Geneva. He was supported by Officials
from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).</p><p>At the meeting,
the Foreign Secretary continued to urge all sides to demonstrate flexibility and compromise
to find a solution to the Cyprus Issue within the UN Security Council parameters.
This followed UK messaging to the parties ahead of the talks, including the Foreign
Secretary's visit to the island on 4 February where he met President Anastasiades,
Turkish Cypriot leader Tatar and the UN. Ahead of the talks, during my visit to Cyprus
(7-9 April), I reiterated this message and the UK's support for a comprehensive, just
and lasting settlement of the Cyprus issue. To this end, FCDO Ministers and Officials
will continue to engage with all parties in support of the UN process.</p>
