The rival leaders of ethnically divided Cyprus have made some progress towards building trust between the Greek and Turkish-speaking communities, but they still have a long way to go to formally restart stalled peace talks.
In a joint statement following the UN-hosted meeting, Ersin Tatar, the leader of Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus, and Nikos Christodoulides, the island's Greek Cypriot President, said they also agreed on restoring neglected cemeteries and setting up a joint group of young people from both sides of the divide to discuss issues relevant to them.
