Referring to Thursday`s meeting of the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus, in the framework of UN-led talks to reunify the island, Del Buey quoted Downer as saying that the discussion focused on property.

He added that Downer also briefed the Security Council in closed consultation and by Friday evening he will also wrap up a report to the Secretary General on the state of negotiations.
