Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the U.S. State Department Victoria Nuland who arrived in Cyprus yesterday will meet with President Mustafa Akıncı, the Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Anastasiades and the UN Secretary General’s Special Adviser on Cyprus Espen Barth Eide.
President Akıncı is receiving Victoria Nuland today. Nuland will be accompanied by United States Deputy Assistant Undersecretary Amanda Sloat.
According to the statement of the USA Embassy, Nuland aims to obtain information and discuss issues concerning both sides about the ongoing negotiation process in Cyprus.
The United States continues its long-standing support for a Cypriot-led, UN-facilitated process to reunify the island. As a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, Cyprus would be a beacon of stability and a model of reconciliation in this volatile region.
