FM to pay Berlin working visit

Cyprus Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides is traveling to Berlin next Sunday for a working visit, following an invitation by his counterpart.

A press release by the MFA says that Kasoulides will hold a meeting with FM of Germany Annalena Baerbock on Monday. Bilateral issues, regional and international issues are expected to be on the agenda.

They will review the bilateral ties and way to further enhance them in areas such as trade, tourism, education, defense and security.

Kasoulides will inform his counterpart on the state of play as regards the Cyprus issue and Turkey’s ongoing provocations. They will also talk about the situation in Ukraine, the food and energy crises and other issues on EU’s agenda and on regional level.

FM will also meet with other German officials and will be interviewed by German mass media.

Cyprus has been divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion. The latest round of peace talks under the UN aegis took place in the summer of 2017 in the Swiss resort of Crans Montana, but failed to yield any results.
