Secretary General's Special Representative in Cyprus Colin Stewart before their meeting at the U.N compound inside the U.N buffer zone in divided capital Nicosia, Cyprus, on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023. The new president of Cyprus is meeting with the leader of the breakaway Turkish Cypriots in an informal gathering to test the waters on reviving stalemated talks to end the island's ethnic division that has been a source of instability in the east Mediterranean for decades. The meeting will be the first for President-elect Nikos Christodoulides following his election victory earlier this month. (Photo by Danil Shamkin/NurPhoto)
