Asked to refer to tomorrow's official visit of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Cyprus, the Spokesman said: "the visit of the Greek Prime Minister was scheduled for last Wednesday. Unfortunately, due to the devastating fires that are testing Greece and are still raging, it had to be postponed.

The visit, apart from its etiquette, has an essential aspect. It will be an opportunity for the President of the Republic and the Greek Prime Minister, Athens and Nicosia, to further coordinate their actions for the next period, to intensify their diplomatic contacts in view of the September UN General Assembly, so that the conditions can be created for the resumption of negotiations."
