UN-backed Cyprus peace talks resume with little hope for breakthrough

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hosted a dinner with Cypriot leaders Nikos Christodoulides and Ersin Tatar in Geneva before informal talks about the divided island's future.
Cyprus has remained divided since a 1974 invasion by Turkey, following a Greek-backed coup, with failed reunification attempts over the decades.
Christodoulides expressed hope for substantive discussions to resume negotiations, emphasizing a constructive approach during his televised address.
Guterres acknowledged a lack of common ground between the factions, with differing views on achieving a settlement for the island's future.
