Fidan and French FM Collaborate on Turkish Cypriot Road Project

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan discussed regional developments, including the Pile-Yiğitler Road project in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), with French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna. The project aims to improve access to the Pile village located in the U.N. Buffer Zone in Cyprus, boost economic development, and facilitate access without using the British Sovereign Base Areas. The island of Cyprus has been divided between Greek and Turkish Cypriots for decades, with ongoing diplomatic efforts for a comprehensive settlement. Turkey supports a two-state solution based on sovereign equality.
