The 4th Cyprus-Greece-Jordan Summit in Nicosia and the 2nd Cyprus-Greece Intergovernmental Summit showcased strengthened trilateral and bilateral collaborations across key sectors, including energy, education, and civil protection.
At the trilateral summit, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II signed agreements on water resource management, education and investment. These initiatives aim to foster regional stability and economic cooperation.
Τα τελευταία χρόνια παρατηρούμε με ικανοποίηση ότι τόσο το διμερές εμπόριο όσο και οι άμεσες επενδύσεις στα δύο κράτη καταγράφουν μια σταθερά ανοδική τάση. Τα περιθώρια, βέβαια, είναι ακόμα μεγαλύτερα και θα έλεγα ακόμα πιο ελπιδοφόρα.

The bilateral summit between Greece and Cyprus focused on joint progress in health, labour, digital governance, and energy, with significant developments in the Cyprus-Crete electricity interconnection project. Mutual recognition of academic qualifications and shared expertise in areas like public administration and judicial reform were also emphasised.
On the Cyprus issue, both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a solution based on UN resolutions. On the Cyprus issue, Mitsotakis expressed his optimism based on the favourable dynamic for the resumption of talks: “We have signs of progress. Our constant pursuit is the fair and sustainable solution based on the decisions of the UN Security Council… There is absolute alignment of the two governments.”
“We remain steadfast in matters of sovereignty, compliance with international law, and the law of the sea,” he later added.
The next intergovernmental summit is set for 2025 in Greece, continuing the nations’ alignment on shared priorities.
