Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his international counterparts on the re-unification of Cyprus.

As a strong supporter of a comprehensive and just Cyprus settlement based on the internationally accepted model of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation, we regularly engage with the parties to the settlement talks at all levels. The Prime Minister discussed the issue with President Anastasiades in London on 17 April. I discussed the issue with Cypriot Foreign Minister Christodoulides on 20 April. The British Ambassador to Turkey discussed the issue with senior Turkish officials in mid-June. The Foreign Secretary last met with the parties at the Conference on Cyprus in Crans Montana, Switzerland on 27 June 2017.
