Tuesday's meeting, the seventh within the comprehensive peace talks, will take place at the U.N. controlled buffer zone in Nicosia at 4:00 p.m. (1400 GMT).

The leaders will continue negotiating administration and share of power as well as execution and legislation in the meeting.

The leaders are set to meet once again on November 13.

Cyprus has been divided since 1964 when Turkish Cypriots were forced to withdraw into enclaves.

The launch of negotiations marked the first major push for peace since the failure of a U.N. reunification plan in 2004, which was approved by Turkish Cypriots but overwhelmingly rejected by the Greek Cypriots.

Power sharing disputes remain at the heart of the Cyprus problem. The Greek Cypriots are seeking a reunification under a strong federal government but the Turkish Cypriots prefer more a devolved union.

Other thorny issues include security guarantees and property settlement claims.
