The Commissioner for the Presidency, Mr Fotis Fotiou, met today at the Presidential Palace with the High President, Mr Jimmy Kokotas and members of the official delegation of AHEPA (AHEPA-American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association) who are visiting Cyprus these days.
After welcoming the AHEPA delegation, the Commissioner of the Presidency made special reference to the great contribution of AHEPA to the promotion of Hellenism and its values worldwide and its great contribution to society.
AHEPA, said Mr. Fotiou, plays a very important role in further strengthening and enhancing bilateral relations between the United States and Cyprus. He also thanked the Organization for its continued efforts in key decision making centers, particularly in the US, to support the efforts of the Republic of Cyprus to resolve the Cyprus problem.
Fotiou also stressed the urgent need to solve the humanitarian problem of the missing persons. In 2022, he stressed, it is inhumane and unacceptable that there are families who for almost half a century are still waiting for answers about the fate of their loved ones. He asked for the Organization's contribution to support the efforts of the Republic of Cyprus to solve the problem of the missing persons.
Finally, the Commissioner of the Presidency informed the leadership of AHEPA about the actions and initiatives of the Organizations of Hellenes Abroad as well as those concerning the trilateral cooperation between Cyprus and Greece with Israel, Egypt and Armenia and discussed ways of involving the Organization in some of these actions and initiatives. He also invited the President and officers of AHEPA to attend the World Congress of Expatriates to be held in Cyprus from 26-29 July 2022.
For his part, the President of AHEPA, after thanking the Commissioner for the Presidency for their close and productive cooperation, assured that AHEPA will continue to support Cyprus with all its means and all its strengths in resolving both the Cyprus problem and the problem of our missing persons.
