The Conference of the seven Mediterranean countries of the EU, which will take place in Nicosia on October 10th, is “a very important Conference,” Government Spokesman Nikos Christodoulides has said, noting that it will be attended by the Prime Ministers of the countries participating in the Southern countries.
Speaking to the press on Sunday, Christodoulides said that hosting of the Conference in Nicosia was “an indication of the government’s multifaceted foreign policy, which has brought specific results,” adding that the Conference had an important agenda concerning EU issues.
“The Conference in Nicosia will be followed by an important European Council in Brussels, and thus the issues on the agenda are linked to the Brussels agenda, such as the economy, energy, and Brexit. An issue which is certainly expected to prevail, taking into account the discussions in Brussels, is EE-Turkish relations,” the Spokesman said.
Christodoulides pointed out that hosting the Conference was important for Cyprus, adding that “it is the first such level Conference to take place in our country and we are working hard so that it is absolutely successful.”
