The meeting with Anastasiades on Sunday morning lasted for 90-minutes.
The meeting by the UN envoy is part of efforts to reach an agreement on the terms of reference, which would pave the way for the resumption of reunification talks.
Lute, who arrived in Cyprus on Saturday, was expected to consult, with the UNSG`s Special Representative in Cyprus, Elizabeth Spehar, and the UN mission`s team on the Cyprus problem.
It will become clear whether the UN official will seek to have further meetings with the two leaders on Monday, before her departure after Sunday's meeting.
