UN: Diani to Brief Troop-Contributing Countries on UNFICYP

The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in Cyprus, Kazim Diani, will brief troop-contributing countries to UNFICYP today in New York on the situation in Cyprus. He is scheduled to brief the Security Council on January 15th, and the Council will vote on the renewal of the force's mandate on January 29th. The Security Council is expected to consider ways to encourage the two communities to build on their recent contacts and avoid actions that could undermine the political climate, particularly in the buffer zone. The potential impact of UN budgetary adjustments on UNFICYP and the Good Offices will also be examined. The briefing comes amid heightened tensions, against the backdrop of protests in Iran and threats between Iran and Israel.
