The situation in the Eastern Mediterranean in the light of Turkey’s aggressive rhetoric, as well as Nicosia’s efforts for a just and lasting solution to the Cyprus problem, based on the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions, were discussed during the meeting of Prime Minister K. Mitsotakis with the President of the Republic of Cyprus, N. Anastasiadis in Cyprus.
Kyriakos Mitsotakis reiterated his support for a fair and sustainable solution to the Cyprus problem, while underlining his support for the proposals for the Confidence Building Measures submitted by Mr. Anastasiadis.
Regional energy developments were also discussed, as the need to break away from Russian fossil fuels and diversify energy sources is bringing the Eastern Mediterranean back to the forefront of energy developments and the European energy security debate.
During the visit, the two leaders signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Reconstruction and Equipment, donated by Greece, to the Heptagon Cyprus Fire Station, which was completely destroyed by fire in the summer of 2021, as well as the supply of two modern fire extinguishers. In this way, the commitment undertaken by the Prime Minister immediately after the catastrophic fires in Cyprus is being implemented, in a practical sign of solidarity with the Cypriot people.
From the Greek side, the meeting was attended by the Minister of Environment and Energy, Costas Skrekas, the Member of Parliament for ND, Tasos Hadjivassiliou, the Ambassador of Greece to the Republic of Cyprus, Ioannis Papameletiou, the Director of the Diplomatic Office of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister Representative, Aristotle Peloni and the Special Advisor to the Prime Minister for Energy, Nikos Tsafos.
