Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides tonight telephoned the newly appointed Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, whom he congratulated on his assumption of office.
The two Ministers jointly expressed their willingness to continue the mutually beneficial strategic relationship between Cyprus and Israel, both in the framework of the strategic dialogue between the two countries and in the framework of the trilateral cooperation mechanisms and the 3+1 format with the participation of Greece and the United States. Kasoulides noted that relations between the two countries are based on mutual respect and international law, without being a zero-sum game and without being affected by any normalization of Israel's relations with Turkey.
The two Ministers agreed to remain in close contact, looking forward to a meeting between them in the near future.
