<p>The UK remains a strong supporter of a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement
of the Cyprus issue, based on the internationally accepted model of a bi-zonal, bi-communal
federation as set out in relevant Security Council Resolutions. To that end, we welcome
the UN Secretary General's ongoing commitment to work with the parties to conduct
in-depth consultations and we look forward to the possibility of an informal meeting
hosted by the UN which includes the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders, and
the Guarantor Powers, Greece, Turkey and the UK.</p><p>We are engaging all parties
regularly. The Foreign Secretary met with Greek Foreign Minister Dendias on 2 February,
spoke to Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu on 3 February, and travelled to Cyprus
on 4 February, to urge all sides to engage constructively ahead of the talks and to
demonstrate flexibility in their approach so the Settlement process can progress.</p><p>
