UN hails 'significant progress' in Cyprus talks

The Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders have made "significant progress" in talks over the reunification of Cyprus, the United Nations has said.


The  Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and the Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci have spent the past five days of UN-backed peace negotiations at a luxury Swiss resort overlooking the Alps.

"During these past five days, the chapter on territory and all other issues were discussed interdependently. Significant progress has been achieved," the UN said in a statement.

The negotiations will continue in Geneva on 20 November.
