Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Cypriot counterpart on peace talks and the reunification of Cyprus.

As a strong supporter of a comprehensive and just Cyprus settlement based on the internationally accepted model of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, we regularly engage with the parties to the settlement talks at all levels. The Prime Minister discussed the issue with President Anastasiades in London on 17 April. I discussed the issue with Cypriot Foreign Minister Christodoulides on 20 April. The Foreign Secretary discussed settlement with Cypriot Foreign Minister Christodoulides on 7 March during his congratulatory call.
