The leaders of the two communities in Cyprus, President Nikos Christodoulides and Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman will hold a meeting on Friday afternoon (4pm local time) without the presence of media on site.
The meeting will be hosted by the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Cyprus, Khassim Diagne, at his residence in the buffer zone of Nicosia airport.
President Christodoulides and the Turkish Cypriot leader held a private meeting on 6 April. The UN press release issued afterwards said that the two leaders had welcomed the continued commitment and involvement of the UN Secretary General in the Cyprus problem and had reiterated their continued readiness to support his efforts.
During that meeting, they had reviewed the progress made on confidence-building initiatives and had agreed to meet again by the end of April with a view to making more specific announcements.
Following that meeting, President Christodoulides spoke of progress on certain CBMs on which announcements are expected at their next meeting.
Greek Cypriot negotiator, Menelaos Menelaou, and representative of the Turkish Cypriot leader, Mehmet Dana, also had a meeting on Monday.
