EU official discusses CBMs and green energy in Nicosia

The European Commission's Director General for Structural Reforms, Mario Nava, discussed confidence-building measures (CBM) at a meeting with the Special Representative of the UN Secretary General in Cyprus, Colin Stewart, on Tuesday.

According to a Twitter post by Nava, the two officials discussed various CBM’s within the UN framework over a working lunch.

Earlier, Nava had a meeting with Minister of Energy, Commerce and Industry George Papanastasiou.

In another post on Twitter, Nava said they had a very fruitful discussion on the promotion of green energy in Cyprus, which could include, among other things, the creation of a bi-communal photovoltaic power plant.

The EU official also said he had an "excellent exchange with ambassadors in Cyprus on how to support the settlement process together and on the importance of promoting more confidence-building measures to show Turkish Cypriots the real benefits of reunification”.
