Christodoulides: Full Respect for Denmark's Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity

The President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, stated in Brussels, upon his arrival at the informal European Council, that escalation in relations benefits no EU member state, nor the United States. He emphasized the importance of full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark, underlining that Cyprus knows better than anyone what violation of these principles means. President Christodoulides mentioned that the goal is de-escalation, not escalation, without compromising on territorial sovereignty and integrity. He also reiterated the need for greater EU autonomy in areas such as defense, security, and energy, believing that the current situation confirms the correctness of this approach.
