President Nikos Christodoulides met with his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the Egyptian presidential palace in Cairo on Tuesday.
He arrived at the palace early in the morning, accompanied by Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos and other dignitaries.
The meeting finished at around 9:15am, and Christodoulides subsequently left Egypt to travel to Jordan to meet with King Abdullah II.
He had said on Monday that meetings with the leaders of Egypt and Jordan will be “decisive” in Cyprus’ effort to create a maritime corridor to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza.
He had added that “a great effort is being made, and it is being recognised.”
“You saw … I was in Larnaca with the Americans, we are in contact with the European Commission, with France, with neighbouring countries,” he had said.
He added that “it seems unfortunately that this unacceptable situation, with the war, will drag on”, and called for civilians to be protected.
“This must be the priority, and we want to be ready, if and for as long as this situation is perpetuated, to be able to implement the role we say we want to have, a role we are highlighting through specific actions and initiatives,” he said.
