President Nikos Christodoulides said he will attend Monday's trilateral meeting with a "very positive attitude" and with the aim of achieving "specific results."
The meeting will bring together the President, the Turkish Cypriot leader and the personal envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General.
Speaking on his arrival at an Economist conference in Nicosia, Christodoulides said he did not wish to make comments in advance of the meeting, prejudge its outcome or create unnecessary expectations.
However, he said he was pleased that the issues being discussed for possible announcement are included among the 19 proposals submitted by the Greek Cypriot side.
According to the President, the Greek Cypriot side has already accepted the issues under discussion because it was the side that originally proposed them.
"We have accepted the proposals. We are awaiting the Turkish side," he said.
Interconnection project
Asked about the electricity interconnection project, as a French research vessel prepares to depart from Crete and amid expressions of support from the United States, Christodoulides referred to comments he made last week.
"Everything that needs to be done is being done away from the spotlight and away from excessive public statements," he said.
He added that the focus remains on achieving tangible results.
"What matters is the outcome, what matters is the substance, and that is what we are working towards."
