The Council reaffirmed its position on Cyprus, most recently in its Resolution 649 (1990) regarding the establishment of an independent, non-aligned, bi-communal federation without a union with another country. It called upon the parties involved to fully adhere to the aforementioned principles, requesting their co-operation with the Secretary-General and noting his intention to resume negotiations in November 1991 to complete an overall framework agreement. The best way to do this, the Council felt, was to consider a high-level international meeting chaired by the Secretary-General in which the leaders of the two communities in Cyprus, along with Greece and Turkey would participate.
