UN secretary-general’s new envoy named

Maria Angela Holguin Cuellar is the next name being promoted by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as the UN envoy on the Cyprus problem, it emerged on Tuesday.

Cuellar’s name comes after the Turkish Cypriot side rejected the last person pegged for the position Australian Julie Bishop.

Cuellar served as foreign minister of Colombia from 2010 to 2018. She also served as the head of the Colombian mission to the UN and the ambassador of her country to Venezuela.
