The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs Anita Demetriou, received today the Special Envoy of the President of the Republic of Korea, Mr Jang Sung Min.
During the meeting, the friendly relations between Cyprus and South Korea were noted, based on common principles and the parallel experience of the division experienced by the two countries, and the broad prospects for strengthening bilateral cooperation in areas of common interest and at various levels, including parliamentary.
Welcoming the Republic of Korea's initiative aimed at further bringing the two countries closer together, the Speaker stressed the importance of developing partnerships amidst multiple challenges. Referring to the Cyprus problem, Demetriou expressed her appreciation for the attitude of the Republic of Korea's authorities in the efforts to reunify Cyprus in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions, stressing the importance of strict adherence to international law, which cannot be applied at will. The President deplored the intensifying Turkish provocations against the Republic of Cyprus. Our only weapon for restoring legitimacy is diplomacy and multi-level cooperation, she said.
Mr. Jang reaffirmed the principled position of the Republic of Korea on the Cyprus problem on the basis of mutual understanding and solidarity. Conveying a message of cooperation, the Korean official referred to the great potential for the development of relations and cooperation in areas of mutual benefit to both countries.
