Leaders from Cyprus met on Monday. It was a happy meeting. This is the first time they met in six years. They met in a special UN area. President Nikos Christodoulides was there. Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhürman also came.
People felt good after the talks. The meeting had a good feeling. This might help with the old Cyprus problem. The meeting was a good start. It ended a long time without talking.
The leaders first visited a group for missing people. This showed that people were hurt by the problem. Then, they talked about many things. They wanted to do good things together.
They talked about plans and ways to help people. Mr. Erhürman said they talked about three things. They will finish work on cheese soon. They will also make crossing points better.
But, they still have different ideas. Mr. Erhürman wants a special plan first. He said the steps they agreed on are small. They are just the first steps.
The EU envoy also met people. The day ended with a nice party. This kept the good feeling. The UN envoy is still working. The world will watch to see if they can talk more.
