Furthermore, as a sign of their mutual commitment, the leaders agreed to the following five concrete steps.
ONE: To work towards the opening of more crossing points, starting with Lefka-Aplici and Deryneia. In addition, they referred a number of other proposed crossing points for further examination to the committee on crossings.
TWO: They agreed to interconnect electricity grids, and to start taking the practical steps towards this goal.
THREE: In the same vein, the leaders agreed on the desirability of mobile telephone interoperability. The two leaders want this issue to be solved. The leaders will therefore instruct the technical committee on economic and commercial matters, as well as their respective experts, to discuss and propose how this important issue can be solved.
FOUR: In parallel, work will commence to prevent radio frequency interferences.
FIVE: Last, but not least, the leaders agreed that the Cyprus issue can only be properly solved with due understanding of the perspectives of both women and men. To that effect, they agreed to establish a committee on gender equality. The leaders also used the opportunity to exchange the names of the members of the culture committee that had been agreed in the last leaders’ meeting. Going forward, the leaders agreed to explore a range of other possible confidence-building measures in parallel to the substantive negotiations. This concludes the report of the leaders’ meeting. I have now been asked by the leaders to present to you their joint appeal on the crucial humanitarian issue of missing persons.
