Christodoulides: Cyprus Presidency Aims for Autonomous and Outward-Looking EU

The President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, stated that the goal of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU is a European Union that combines strategic autonomy with international outreach. Cyprus, due to its geographical location, aspires to act as a bridge between the EU and the wider region, promoting dialogue and cooperation. President Christodoulides emphasized the need for a united and reliable EU, capable of offering security, stability, and prospects to its citizens, with the ultimate goal of further European integration. Cyprus is committed to being part of the solution, not the problem.
