Cyprus President arrives to Estonia for an official visit

Cyprus President, Nicos Anastasiades, arrived on Wednesday afternoon to Tallinn, Estonia, for an official visit.

According to a press release issued by the Presidency, Government Spokesman, Marios Pelekanos, who escorts President Anastasiades, said in statements to the media, that during the next two days the President will have meetings with the leadership of Estonia, during which the Cyprus problem, developments in Ukraine, the migration issue, issues concerning the EU energy security, EU-Turkey relations, the green and the digital transition will be discussed.

He added that during the meeting which the President of Cyprus will have with the Estonian Prime Minister a Memorandum of Understanding will be signed on issues of digital governance and cybersecurity.

Pelekanos underlined that these issues are high on the Republic of Cyprus priorities. “And it is for this reason that 23% of the amount allocated to the Republic of Cyprus from the Recovery and Resilience Facility through the “Cyprus – Tomorrow” project will be used for the transition to digital governance, so that there will be benefits for all citizens and businesses,” he added.

Cyprus has been divided since 1974, when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory.
