According to a statement issued by the Parliament, Ms Demetriou also noted that Cyprus is in a position to fully understand the situation in Ukraine, having first-hand experience of the invasion and continued occupation, for 48 years, of part of its territory.
It is for this reason, he stressed, that the House of Representatives unanimously adopted, immediately after the war in Ukraine began, a clear resolution condemning the Russian invasion, which reflects the firm commitment of the Republic of Cyprus to the principles of international law.
During the meeting, the friendly relations linking the two countries on the basis of common principles and values and the prospect of further strengthening cooperation between them in areas of special interest were underlined. In particular, the existence of a common will to further strengthen cooperation and exchanges between the Parliaments of Cyprus and Morocco was noted, both at the level of the Speakers of the two Houses and at the level of the respective Friendship Groups, and more broadly in the context of parliamentary diplomacy.
Finally, views were exchanged on the common challenges facing the two countries, such as the issues of migration and the environmental impact of the climate crisis, as well as the promotion of equal gender representation in parliaments and political life in general.
The Ambassador was accompanied by the Honorary Consul of Morocco in Cyprus Stylianos Panagidis.
