27. 在本报告所述期间，希族塞人和土族塞人领导人在联合国协助下为全面解决塞浦路斯问题而进行的谈判仍处于停顿状态，双方之间的直接接触、特别是两族领导人的直接接触有限。两位领导人于 2018 年 4 月 16 日在联合国主持的非正式会议上会晤了一次。2018 年 6 月，我通知安全理事会，我打算通过一名联合国高级官员启动与双方和保证国的磋商，听取我在 2017 年 7 月塞浦路斯问题会议闭幕时呼吁进行的反思所取得的成果，并帮助确定现阶段条件是否足够成熟，可以推进开展有意义进程。与此同时，我的塞浦路斯问题特别顾问办公室继续与领导人和政党及民间社会组织等其他行为体进行双边接触。该办公室还继续协助专家工作组和技术委员会的工作。
27. During the reporting period, the negotiations, facilitated by the United Nations, between the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders to reach a comprehensive settlement to the Cyprus issue remained at a hiatus, and direct contacts between the two sides, particularly at the level of the leaders of the two communities, were limited. The two leaders met once, on 16 April 2018, at a United Nations-facilitated informal meeting. In June 2018, I informed the Security Council of my intention to launch consultations with the sides and the guarantor powers through a senior United Nations official to hear the outcomes of the reflection which I had called for at the closing of the Conference on Cyprus in July 2017, and to help determine whether conditions have matured sufficiently at this stage for a meaningful process going forward. In the meantime, the Office of my Special Adviser on Cyprus continued its engagement with the leaders and other actors such as political parties and civil society organizations bilaterally. The Office also continued to facilitate the work of expert working groups and technical committees.
