Ms. Satterfield's visit will strengthen relations between Cyprus and the US in the fields of education, culture and sports. So we discussed these issues. We discussed the very good cooperation we have within the framework of Fulbright, as well as the training of our teachers and the teaching of the English language in Cyprus."
"Of course," the Education Minister said, "tomorrow we will have in Paphos the official ceremony for the opening of the American University of Beirut in Cyprus. Therefore, we also discussed exchanges in the field of university education, where, although relations between the two countries are very close, there is always room for improvement. I thank Mrs. Satterfield for her visit and we will continue the very good cooperation through our Embassy as well."
Mrs. Satterfield, after thanking the Minister for the warm welcome, referred to the many opportunities and programs that have been created between the United States and Cyprus in the fields of education and culture and noted that she looks forward to the continuation of this cooperation.
