After almost two years working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikolaos Varellas has now been appointed to Canberra, Australia to fulfil the duty of Deputy High Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus.
Mr Varellas has replaced Stavros Nicolaou, who was transferred to the High Commission in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Mr Varellas studied law at the Athens Law School. He also went on to obtain his masters focusing on the cultural management of Cyprus.
His new duties include the promotion and public awareness of the Cyprus issue that has plagued the island for 50 years, and organising meetings with representatives of Cypriots in Oceania nations.
Mr Varellas will also hold periodic meetings with accredited persons from member countries of the European Union, of which Cyprus is also a member.
He will assist compatriots in matters of passports, visas and signature certifications.
