Cyprus’ regional footprint linked with form of Cyprus problem solution, President says after meeting with Biden (1)

Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides on Wednesday expressed satisfaction after a meeting with the American President Joe Biden, at the White House, that the regional footprint of the country was being recognised by the USA and is linked to both the form and the content of a possible solution to the Cyprus problem.

In his statements after the meeting with Biden, the President of the Republic referred to statements by the American President during their meeting, namely that he thanked for the role of the Republic of Cyprus in relation to the Middle East and the humanitarian corridor, and that “the need was emphasised that through the solution of the Cyprus issue, the Republic of Cyprus should not only be able to continue this specific role, but that this role should be clearly strengthened.”

The President of the Republic also announced that he believes that very soon “we will hear positive developments” in relation to the issue of lifting visa requirements for Cypriots visiting the US, but also that “even
more” would be done in the coming months in matters of defence and security.

President Christodoulides said that they had “an excellent” and “effective” discussion, with “deliverables”.
