President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman meet on Tuesday at 11am in Nicosia, with Christodoulides saying he was approaching the meeting with the sole aim of achieving positive developments. On Monday, Christodoulides said the UN had proposed dates for a joint meeting between the leaders of the two communities and the UN secretary-general’s personal envoy Maria Angela Holguin.

The Greek Cypriot side, he said, had already responded positively. “I am going to the meeting with one and only one objective: to have positive developments,” Christodoulides said.
