00:00Five-party negotiations on the Cyprus problem concluded on Thursday without resolving key

00:07disputes. However, participants agreed to continue discussions under the guidance of

00:12the United Nations. The informal talks between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders and

00:18representatives from Greece, Turkey and the UK produced no agreement on reopening crossing

00:22points between the island's two parts. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has scheduled

00:28additional meetings for September. There's a long road ahead and it is important to think about what

00:34the future can mean for all Cypriots. But these steps clearly demonstrate the commitment to

00:42continuing the dialogue on the way forward and working on initiatives that benefit all Cypriots.

00:50Following the conference building measures announced in Geneva, the talks produced three

00:54new measures, establishing an advisory body for civil society participation, exchanging cultural

01:00artifacts and monitoring air quality while addressing microplastic pollution.

01:12Thank you very much.

01:41Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkey occupied the northern third of the island following

01:56a coup attempt. Reunification talks collapsed in mid-2017 and have been in a stalemate since.
