Pakistan “has broken the silent process” of the United Nations security council’s renewal of the mandate of its peacekeeping force in Cyprus (Unficyp), President Nikos Christodoulides said on Thursday.
“What I have been informed of this morning is that Pakistan has broken the silent process in which the resolution was put, has advanced some comments, and it is a process. It has happened in the past, and consultations continue,” he told journalists after being asked about rumours of a “lack of consensus” among security council members.
