Vafeadis and Michailidou to Travel to Brussels

The Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Alexis Vafeadis, will travel to Brussels to represent Cyprus at the EU Council of Environment Ministers. His participation is due to the absence of the Minister of Agriculture, who remains in Cyprus to address the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and coordinate relevant services. Simultaneously, the Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Dr. Athena Michailidou, will present the priorities of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU 2026 to the European Parliament's Committee on Culture and Education (CULT). Ms. Michailidou will return to Cyprus on March 18, 2026. Both ministers will participate in important meetings concerning Cyprus's interests within the European Union.
