President of the Republic Mr.Nicos Christodoulides referred today to the establishment of the Deputy Ministry of Environment
In his statements to journalists, addressing the General Assembly of the Pancyprian Hoteliers Association and asked about the issue of environmental controls, the President of the Republic said: "in my programme there is a provision for the establishment of a Deputy Ministry of Environment. It is one of the three Deputy Ministries envisaged in my pre-election programme, together with the Deputy Ministry of Immigration, which is already in progress, and the Deputy Ministry of Sports.
You understand that not everything can be done at once. The reason why the Deputy Ministry of Environment is needed is this horizontal dimension that it has, for example, we are talking about the Recovery and Resilience Fund, one of the key objectives is how to achieve the green transition."
He added that this issue is "a priority not only for Cyprus, but also for all EU member states" and noted: "the goal is the establishment of the Deputy Ministry, which has a horizontal dimension, all ministries are dealing with this issue, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
When I was Foreign Minister, there was the issue of green diplomacy, so it is very high on our priorities, something we have to move proactively before it is too late," President Christodoulides said.
