In his UNFICYP report, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon praises the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus, President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci, for the genuine progress they have made in the negotiations, but at the same time he expresses concern for the lack of progress in the implementation of agreed upon Confidence Building Measures.
An advanced copy of the report was distributed to the Security Council members last night, and covers the period from December 19, 2015 until June 24, 2016 and the Secretary General asks the Council to extend UNFICYP’s mandate for an additional six month period, until January 31, 2017.
“The leaders have demonstrated courage and perseverance during this period, and have made genuine progress through their constant engagement.”
