Announcement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the UN Security Council Resolution 2815 (2026) on the renewal of the mandate of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus[...]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomes the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2815 (2026), by which the mandate of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) is renewed for a further period of 12 months.

Through this Resolution, the Security Council reaffirms its strong support for UNFICYP, which has played a key role in de-escalating tensions and maintaining peace and security. It also conveys a clear message of support for the efforts of the UN Secretary-General aimed at resolving the Cyprus Issue on the basis of a Bi-zonal, Bi-communal Federation, according to the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.

Greece, as an elected member of the Security Council for the 2025-2026 term, in coordination with the Republic of Cyprus, has undertaken strenuous efforts during the intensive consultations for the renewal of the mandate of the UNFICYP, despite attempts to alter the content of the Resolution.

The resolution of the Cyprus Issue remains always a top priority for Greek foreign policy. We will continue to contribute in every possible way to a just and viable resolution to the Cyprus Issue within the framework of the UN Security Council Resolutions.
