Cyprus’ initiative on security, the rebuilding of Gaza and the humanitarian aspect was presented on Monday to leaders attending the Sharm El Sheikh conference on Gaza by President Nikos Christodoulides.
Taking into consideration the excellent relations Cyprus has with all neighbouring countries, and the fact it is the EU member state in the region, as well as its forthcoming EU presidency, “we presented three fields in which Cyprus can develop specific initiatives,” Christodoulides said.
Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, Christodoulides said the six initiatives were based on the US president’s plan and had to do with security, rebuilding Gaza and the humanitarian aspect.
“We discussed and exchanged views on the plan, on the initiative of Cyprus,” he said, adding that he informed the president of the European Commission of the initiative on Sunday.
“It is a proposal that is in the works, it will be formulated, with the sole aim of doing our share […] to safeguard the implementation of the first phase of the agreement” on Gaza, he added.
