To prepare for the visit, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs will arrive in Cyprus before the end of July, he added.

Christodoulides said Cyprus and France are committed to strengthening their enduring partnership, working together confidently to promote regional stability, security in the Eastern Mediterranean, and a stronger, influential EU, with Cyprus remaining a steadfast and vital ally of France.

"For Cyprus, France represents far more than a reliable and trustworthy ally. It is a steadfast friend, a strategic partner,” he said. “A pillar of European strength and stability. Never has this held more truth since the second world war – at a time when war has returned in our continent, following Russia’s illegal aggression against Ukraine.”
