There is “no clear timetable for the next steps” on the Cyprus problem after this week’s tripartite meeting ended without agreement, according to reports on Friday. The source also said that the Cyprus problem “remains a high priority” for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and that this “creates satisfaction”. Later on Wednesday, it was reported that Guterres had been “seriously disturbed” by the lack of progress achieved on the Cyprus problem since the previous tripartite meeting, which had taken place last month. It was also reported that he had instructed Holguin to “tell the leaders that if no steps are taken on confidence-building measures, I will absolutely not convene an enlarged meeting” after Wednesday’s tripartite meeting. He closed his remarks by saying that Wednesday’s meeting had been “useful but not very productive”.
