Nicosia: The government will soon be called upon to make decisions on the major projects that will be included in the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides said on Thursday evening. Speaking to journalists upon his arrival at the inauguration ceremony for the revamped Omodos Square and part of its Traditional Core, a traditional village in Limassol district, President Christodoulides said that "our government will soon have to decide on major projects to be implemented across Cyprus under the next Multiannual Financial Framework, with a total value exceeding £1 billion."
According to Cyprus News Agency, the President expressed his intention for the government to discuss the matter in cooperation with local authorities, community leaders, municipalities, and district administrations. This collaboration aims to make full use of all available European resources to achieve the revitalization of rural areas, where the true spirit of Cypriot hospitality can be experienced.
