\nEmphasizing that he came from a divided country, Ban said: \u201cAs a person who came from a divided country – Korea, Cyprus is giving me hope for the future. Cyprus’s reunification in a peaceful manner will bring economic and political benefits to the island and will contribute for stability and cooperation in the region. Both the EU, and myself will support these efforts on the basis of the ideology that Cypriots are to decide the future of Cyprus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
