Cyprus to welcome US Military assessment team for defence upgrade

·

A US military assessment team will visit Cyprus this week as part of ongoing defence upgrades, according to a statement from Cypriot government spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis.

The team, based in Germany, will focus on enhancing the island’s defence capabilities through infrastructure projects and increased cooperation with allied forces.

The assessment will take place at the “Andreas Papandreou” Air Base in Paphos, where the team will offer expertise on improving interoperability with the US and other international partners.

Areas of focus include airport operations, logistics, and communications, all aimed at modernising Cyprus’ defence infrastructure.

“The upgrading of infrastructure, the supply of modern means and the investment in training are key pillars of our national strategy for an effective and flexible defence,” Letymbiotis stated at a news briefing.

Cyprus, strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, has become an essential player in regional stability.
