Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department has taken recent steps to help bring about a negotiated reunification of Cyprus on the basis of the bi-zonal, bi-communal federation set out in relevant UN Security Council resolutions.

I [Minister Stuart] met the Cypriot Foreign Minister in July and set out our determination to find a just and lasting settlement for the island of Cyprus.

We support the UN led process and advocate a solution in line with UN parameters based on the model of a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation with political equality.
