There was no immediate reaction from the Turkish Cypriot leader.
The UN announced late Wednesday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was inviting the leaders to an informal meeting in Geneva, Switzerland on April 27-29 "to determine whether common ground exists for the parties to negotiate a lasting solution to the Cyprus problem within a foreseeable horizon."
The invitees also include the foreign ministers of the three "guarantors" of Cyprus' independence − Greece, Turkey and Britain.
Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades on Thursday expressed his "strong determination" to try and find common ground with Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar.
