Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis welcomed Democratic Rally President Averof Neofytou’s support to newly-elected Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides to join the European People’s Party (EPP).
In a post on Twitter, Mitsotakis thanked Neofytou over his stance and described him as a “responsible political leader.”
“Averof Neofytou remains a responsible political leader who will support the new Cypriot government amid challenges. We thank him for his support over the accession of the newly-elected Cyprus President Nikos Chritsodoulides in the large EPP family,” he said.
Christodoulides, who won the run-off ballot in the Cypriot presidential elections last Sunday, will assume duties on March 1, succeeding Nicos Anastasiades, following ten-years in office.
