Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has had discussions with the leaders of both communities in Cyprus on establishing a sustainable, bi-zonal and bi-communal federal political settlement in the period since June 2021.

We remain committed to supporting UN efforts to reach a just and lasting Cyprus settlement, within the UN parameters based on the model of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with political equality and we engage all parties on this. The UK has held high level meetings as recently as last month, including with President Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tatar, following the elections in February.
