During yesterday’s (16.03.23)
press briefing at UN Headquarters, the Spokesperson for the United Nations
Secretary-General, Mr Stéphane Dujarric, stated:
“Under-Secretary-General for
Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, Rosemary DiCarlo, is continuing her
visit to Cyprus. She visited the historic city of Famagusta today to learn
about the important work on preserving cultural heritage shared by all
Cypriots. She expressed confidence that achievements in this area will help
build bridges in the future.
The Under Secretary-General
also met with youth representatives, stressing that the voices of young women
and men are vital for a durable peace solution in Cyprus and elsewhere. She
said the United Nations would continue our efforts to bring more youth to the
table”.
Also, the Spokesperson replied
to a question set by the OMEGA correspondent, Mr Michalis Ignatiou, as
follows:
Question (Ignatiou): Okay. Is there any possibility for a new initiative by
the Secretary-General on Cyprus? And also, I have another question. Can you
confirm that the Secretary-General is thinking after the trip of Ms. DiCarlo
to ask the President of Cyprus and Mr. Tatar to come to New York?
Spokesperson: What is important for the Secretary-General is to hear back
directly and personally from Rosemary DiCarlo when she returns to New York,
and then we'll see what next steps are taken.
