The Speaker of the House of Representatives Anita Demetriou received today the US Ambassador to Cyprus Julie Fisher.
During the meeting, the importance of the multi-level cooperation that has been developing between Cyprus and the United States in recent years was noted, in light of the growing instability and complex security and stability challenges in the region and more broadly. Particular concern was expressed about the possibility of a further escalation of the situation in the Middle East, following Iran's attack on Israel, and the need for de-escalation was stressed, as the consequences of such a development would be catastrophic.
The Speaker of Parliament referred in particular to the increasing migratory flows that Cyprus is experiencing and stressed that the issue of migration must be addressed collectively and effectively at the level of the European Union, in cooperation with third countries and with emphasis on the root causes of migration.
With regard to the Cyprus problem, the Speaker expressed her wish for a successful outcome of the mission of the UN Secretary General's Personal Envoy and stressed that our side's goal is the resumption of talks to reach a solution, in accordance with international law and the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions.
