A statement from the House of Representatives said that Mr Georgiades was a speaker at the official dinner of the meeting, together with Bob Menendez, Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Georgiades noted that the "3+1" cooperation, becomes even more important and timely due to the developments linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which he said is a conflict between democracy and authoritarianism.

He stressed that the same applies with regard to Turkey and its policy towards Cyprus and Greece and pointed out the dangers of adopting appeasement policies with regard to Turkey.

Georgiades held meetings with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Europe and the European Union Molly Montgomery and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Southern Europe and the Caucasus Erika Olson. His contacts will continue on Wednesday, with meetings with members of the House of Representatives.
