President of the Republic Nicos Anastasiades will pay an important visit to Great Britain during which he will have a meeting with King Charles III next Monday.
During the meeting, President Anastasiades will brief King Charles III on the latest developments in the Cyprus problem and Turkey's challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean. Bilateral relations between Cyprus and the United Kingdom will also be on the agenda of the meeting.
Climate change is also expected to be discussed, as well as the consequences of the energy crisis due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The meeting will take place at Balmoral Castle in Scotland at 10:30am UK time. It is President Anastasiades' first meeting with King Charles III since he was proclaimed King of Great Britain last September, following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
It is recalled that last Wednesday, 11 January, President Anastasiades received at the Presidential Palace Princess Anne, who paid a visit to Cyprus to inspect the British contingent in UNFICYP.
Tomorrow evening the President of the Republic will attend a Gala Dinner on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus during which President Anastasiades will be honoured by the United Kingdom Federation of Cypriots and the Inter-Party Group for Cyprus in the British Parliament.
The event was planned twice before but was postponed due to the pandemic and the death of Queen Elizabeth.
The event will be attended by a representative of the British Government and members of the British Parliament. It is expected to highlight the significant contribution of Cypriot expatriates to the strengthening of bilateral relations between Cyprus and the United Kingdom as well as to the promotion of our national cause.
