Nuland to visit Cyprus

US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland will visit Cyprus on July 12 to discuss bilateral issues and the island’s division.

Nuland travels to Nicosia, “to meet with Republic of Cyprus officials to discuss bilateral and regional issues”, a State Department media note issued from the office of the Spokesperson said.

“She will also meet with Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders and UN Special Advisor (Espen Barth) Eide to convey continued US support for a fair and lasting settlement of the Cyprus problem through the process facilitated by the UN Secretary General’s Good Offices Mission.”

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
