King Charles says he hopes for a solution in Cyprus

King Charles hosted a Commonwealth reception at St James's Palace in London. High commissioners of Commonwealth countries and representatives of various organisations attended the event, where the King met Christina Dymioti, founder of Fashion Heritage Network Cyprus.

According to a report in Greek Cypriot media, citing Dymioti, the King spoke about Cyprus during their meeting. Dymioti said the King expressed sadness that the island remains divided and hoped the issue would be resolved soon. The report also said the King closely follows projects aimed at bringing together young people from the TRNC and the Greek Cypriot Administration of Southern Cyprus.

Dymioti said she had been appointed by Greek Cypriot leader Nikos Christodoulides to the bicommunal Youth Technical Committee, which works directly with the United Nations. According to Dymioti, the King congratulated her on the work being carried out and encouraged the team to continue its activities. However, the King's own statement did not offer any view on the political model on which the Cyprus problem should be solved.
