Cyprus government reaffirms commitment to peace negotiations

During a memorial service for the fallen and missing of Kythrea held on Sunday, November 1, 2026, the Cypriot Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, Christos Senekis, reaffirmed the government's commitment to achieving a fair and functional solution to the Cyprus problem. He emphasized that the administration remains dedicated to working within the established United Nations framework and relevant resolutions to overcome the current stalemate.

Minister Senekis stated that President Nikos Christodoulides is persistent in efforts to restart substantial negotiations from the point where they stalled in 2017. The Greek Cypriot side expressed its readiness to utilize all opportunities for progress with the assistance of the United Nations and the active involvement of the European Union. Despite acknowledging the difficulty of the path ahead, the Minister warned that the government will not allow prolonged stagnation to lead to resignation or the permanent division of the island.
