Greek Cypriot leader Christodoulides to visit Türkiye for COP31, a first in a decade

Cyprus's Greek Cypriot president, Nikos Christodoulides, said he will travel to Antalya for the UN's COP31 climate summit in November, after Ankara extended an invitation through EU channels; Türkiye does not recognise his government.

He met Turkish Cypriot president Tufan Erhürman on Tuesday, and the two agreed to attend a festival together on 17 October.
