In the margins of 4s United Nations Police Chiefs' Meeting, United Nations (UN) Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean-Pierre Lacroix and UN Police Advisor Faisal Shakhar held a press conference yesterday afternoon and answered questions from journalists at the headquarters of the International Organization.
In response to a question from CNA's correspondent whether Mr. Lacroix is optimistic about the Cyprus problem after the cancellation of the trip of the Personal Envoy of the Secretary General Mrs. María Ángela Holguín to Cyprus, he said:
"What is important is that discussions continue and Ms. Holguín will meet with the leaders of both sides. I think the way they are done is probably important for the fact that these discussions are ongoing. So, we continue to support the efforts because UNFICYP (United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus) is working closely [with Ms. Holguín] and the mandates are different. We are very much concerned with the same issue and we hope that these talks will lead to progress towards a political dialogue. We are aware of the challenges, but we remain confident and optimistic."
