Dowty: Security of Cypriots is Top Priority for Britain

British Minister of State for Europe, Stephen Dowty, assured that the security of Cypriots is a top priority for the British government. He emphasized that the capabilities of anti-missile defense and countering unmanned aircraft at British bases in Cyprus have been enhanced, especially after the recent drone attack. Mr. Dowty met with a delegation from the National Cypriot Federation of the United Kingdom, where the need for close cooperation between the United Kingdom and Cyprus to ensure security on the island was discussed. In addition, ways to improve information to residents in the base areas are being explored.
