Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) President Mehmet Ali Talat and Greek Cypriot administration leader Tassos Papadopoulos will meet today for the first time in two years.

The meeting will be at the residence of Michael Moller, the UN secretary-general's special representative and head of the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP), and is to focus on the missing persons issue.

The Talat-Papadopoulos meeting will be the first one since Greek Cypriots rejected a UN-sponsored plan to establish a new partnership state. Christophe Girod, the newly-appointed third member of the Missing Persons Committee, will also take part in the gathering.
