An invitation to address the Plenary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), in Strasbourg, was extended today to the President of the Republic, Mr.Nikos Christodoulides, by the President of the PACE, Mr.Tiny Kox.
Mr. Kox, who was received this morning by President Christodoulides at the Presidential Palace, extended an invitation to the President to address the Plenary Session of the CSCE in the near future, an invitation which was accepted.
During their meeting, President Christodoulides congratulated the President of the CSCE for his speech to the House of Representatives yesterday and for his work in the Council of Europe.
He also referred to his recent participation in the Council of Europe Summit in Iceland, which he described as a historic Summit for the future of Europe, stressing that Cyprus is and will continue to be a strong supporter of the work of the Council of Europe, especially under the current circumstances and challenges, such as the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine.
For his part, the CSCE President said, inter alia, that he appreciated the fact that President Christodoulides was putting the Cyprus issue on the agenda of the Council of Europe, noting that when a Council of Europe member state is illegally invaded we should not be indifferent to similar cases that have occurred in the past. It is time to start talking about a solution to the Cyprus problem again, he said, adding that we should not wait for much longer.
He added that the invasion and occupation is an injustice, noting that he supports the President's vision for a solution.
