It is the responsibility of the two leaders to listen to what people want as regards moving forward, UNSG personal envoy, Maria Angela Holguin said on Wednesday after meeting Greek Cypriot Leader Nikos Christodoulides in Nicosia.
In her statements at the Presidential Palace after her meeting with Christodoulides that lasted around one hour and 15 minutes, Holguin said that they had “a very constructive meeting”.
She also said that her impression, after meeting with civil society groups and the private sector, was that “everybody wants to move forward” and that “something happens in the island”.
“I hope that the leaders are listening to the people, civil society, and I think it is the responsibility of the leaders”, she said. Holguin added that this is what she was trying to do, continue working “for this common ground”.
According to Government Spokesperson, Konstantinos Letymbiotis, Holguin is to hold another meeting with President Christodoulides on May 13.
