Today marks the completion of an effort that started two years ago, for an important initiative, perhaps the most important one concerning our Cypriot Expatriates, with the approval of the Proposal of the Council of Ministers regarding the Online Platform of Cypriots in Diaspora.
This is a major and pioneering project that will provide multiple benefits both to Cyprus and to our Expatriates themselves.
Various institutions and services, such as the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, the Cyprus Pedagogical Institute, the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection, have contributed to the implementation of this great project, and we would like to thank them warmly.
The platform for Diaspora Cypriots will consist of two sub-pages, the Diaspora Cypriots Inventory page and the Learn Your Roots page.
The first page, the Diaspora Cypriots Inventory, aims at both quantitative and qualitative recording of Diaspora Cypriots.[/B]
The first page, the Diaspora Cypriots Inventory, aims at both quantitative and qualitative recording of Diaspora Cypriots. This will enable us to get to know Cypriots wherever they are in the world, which for the first time will be done officially by the Republic of Cyprus. Apart from this, it will give the opportunity to create a register of Scientists, Academics, Entrepreneurs of the Diaspora, since our remarkable and distinguished compatriots excel abroad.
The second sub-page, Learn Your Roots has an educational character and is addressed to all our expatriates from pre-school age onwards.

Warm thanks to all those who cooperated in the implementation of the Strategy, especially the Press and Information Office.

Our Expatriates have always been the best ambassadors of Cyprus abroad and are valuable to our country. It is our duty and obligation to implement projects, actions and programmes for their promotion and further utilisation. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation for their multifaceted contribution to Cyprus and especially to the promotion of our national cause. We are proud of this genuine part of Hellenism.
