Trump's Invitation to Cyprus Doesn't Imply Financial Obligations, Says Letymbiotis

Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis clarified that President Christodoulides' invitation to the Peace Council for Gaza by President Trump does not imply any financial obligations for Cyprus. The invitation recognizes Cyprus' role in the Middle East region and involves participation for three years with the possibility of renewal. Mr. Letymbiotis emphasized that claims of financial payments are unfounded and misleading, while the Cypriot Republic is evaluating the invitation seriously and will make an official statement soon. Participation in the Peace Council is expected to contribute to the upgrading of Cyprus' international position.
