The Commissioner of the Presidency, Mr Fotis Fotiou, met today in his office with young Cypriots from our Diaspora, aged 14-17 years old from the USA, who are currently on an educational visit to Cyprus, in the framework of the Young Expatriates in Cyprus hospitality programme.
The hospitality programme is part of the wider framework of visits of our young generation of expatriates to Cyprus, aiming to get to know better their roots, their culture, to speak and listen to the Greek language and the Cypriot dialect, to visit historical and religious monuments and sites, to get in touch with our cultural heritage, customs and traditions. This is one of the main objectives of the strategy of the Office of the Commissioner for the Presidency.
The Commissioner for the Presidency welcomed the young people with great pleasure, after two years of postponement of the programme due to the coronavirus pandemic, and told them that they should be proud of their origins, roots and history.
The Office of the Commissioner for the Presidency is investing in our young generation of expatriates, as they are the future of our Diaspora and its leaders of tomorrow.
The programme is carried out in cooperation between the Office of the Commissioner of the Presidency and the Federation of Cypriot Organizations of America, with the support of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth and the State Ministry of Tourism.
