Cyprus and Greece insist on respect of international law, said President of the Republic of Cyprus Nicos Anastasiades following his meeting on Thursday with Greece’s Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias.
In a post on Twitter, President Anastasiades said “Cyprus and Greece insist on respect of international law”, adding it is an “essential pillar to ensure peace and security in the region.”
The two, he said, “examined the actions necessary to manage the Turkish revisionism in Cyprus and the Aegean”.
In a tweet, the Greek Foreign Ministry said that Dendias was received by #Cyprus President Anastasiades in the presence of Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides.
It added, “Greece and Cyprus continue to work together and coordinate their efforts in tackling global & regional challenges”.
Dendias is conducting a working visit on the island and will have a tete-a-tete meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ioannis Kasoulides, while further consultations will follow with the participation of delegations from the two Ministries.
At the end of the consultations, the two Ministers will make statements to the press.
Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and occupied the island’s northern third.
