Written Answers
Community Development: Cyprus
Asked by: Lord Balfe (Conservative - Life peer)
Tuesday 20th May 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they have taken to work with the Turkish-Cypriot diaspora in the United Kingdom to promote community engagement and stronger ties between the United Kingdom and Northern Cyprus.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

In accordance with the rest of the international community, with the sole exception of Turkey, the UK does not recognise the self-declared 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus' as an independent state. Several UN Security Council Resolutions and other multilateral agreements limit links between the UK and the north of Cyprus. However, we support measures aimed at reducing the isolation of the Turkish Cypriot community within these constraints. This includes promoting rule of law, good governance, open societies, and positive inter-communal relations. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) officials regularly engage members of the Cypriot diaspora, including from the Turkish Cypriot community.

Cyprus: Community Development
Asked by: Lord Balfe (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 20 May (HL7156), whether they plan to send a representative to the Turkish Cypriot Cultural Festival as part of their engagement with the Turkish Cypriot community.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

The Government does not currently have plans to send a representative to the specific event referenced in PQ HL7889. However, we continue to engage members of the Cypriot diaspora and welcome the strong contribution that the diaspora has and continues to make to UK culture and communities.
