The appointment of a new UN envoy for Cyprus talks is crucial for restarting conversations between the Cypriot communities. The envoy is expected to be committed, impartial, and abide by UN resolutions, with the goal of fostering dialogue and addressing tensions, particularly in the buffer zone, to progress toward peace and stability.
