He will refer to the multiple challenges we have to tackle together to address major issues such as migration, the environmental crisis, energy, the need for a transition to a green economy. Issues in which the Republic of Cyprus wishes to have a role and a voice, acting as a reliable partner among the states of the region.
President Christodoulides will reiterate the will of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus to use its membership of the European Union to act as a bridge of understanding and stability, in a framework of cooperation based on an inviolable commitment to international law.
Before the plenary session of the European Parliament, the President of the Republic will present his proposal for a more active involvement of the EU in the effort to break the deadlock and for the immediate resumption of negotiations to resolve the Cyprus problem within the agreed UN framework.
Through the European Parliament, the President of the Republic will send a clear message to European citizens that the Republic of Cyprus is the common home of all legal residents of the country, whose rights are respected, without discrimination and exceptions.
Nineteen years since its accession to the European Union, the Republic of Cyprus looks forward to the contribution of our partners to the implementation of European principles and values and the prevalence of the rule of law against the illegality caused by the continuing Turkish occupation of part of the Cypriot territory, which is part of the European territory."
