Greece and Cyprus sign landmark cultural cooperation agreement

·

Greece’s Culture Minister, Lina Mendoni, and Cyprus‘s Deputy Minister of Culture, Lina Kassianidou, have officially signed the first-ever Cultural Cooperation Agreement between the two nations. According to amna.gr, this significant milestone reaffirms the strong, productive, and mutually beneficial ties between Greece and Cyprus in culture.

This agreement is a continuation of the ongoing collaboration between the cultural ministries of both countries and a result of the work of the 1st Supreme Council of Cooperation Greece – Cyprus under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and President Nikos Christodoulides, which took place in Athens last November.

The Agreement replaces the Memorandums of Cooperation of the previous years and reflects the new directions and content of cultural cooperation, which expands into the fields of Cultural Heritage and Contemporary Culture.

The Agreement provides for the exchange of good practices concerning the organization of archaeological museums, with an emphasis on the construction of the new Archaeological Museum in Nicosia, as well as the organization and exchange of periodical exhibitions.

In recent years, important work has been done in Greece, in the context of the digital transformation of the Ministry of Culture, with the creation of the Archaeological Cadastre, the Portal of Mobile Monuments, the Historical Archive of Excavations and Restorations and their respective Integrated Information Systems, with substantial results in the service of citizens, the educational and the investment community.

In this context, it was agreed to transfer know-how for the respective issues to Cyprus.
It was agreed to exchange know-how through the Organization for the Management and Development of Cultural Resources and the training of Cypriot students in workshops, as well as their participation in cultural programmes.
