Prodromos Prodromou

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' official visit to Cyprus on July 29 and the latest developments on the island state were discussed in a phone call with Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades on Monday.
According to Cypriot government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou, the two sides exchanged views, discussed their policy plans and are "fully aligned" in their targets.

Cyprus' government spokesman says President Nicos Anastasiades has suffered a fracture of his femur, or thighbone, on this right leg and will undergo surgery.

Spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said in a written statement Saturday that there is no risk to the president's overall health.

In a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades called on Turkey to stop its violations of the Eastern Mediterranean island's sovereign rights so that talks to reunify the island can resume.

The Cypriot government has declared a three-day period of mourning for the east Mediterranean island's former president, Dimitris Christofias, who died at the age of 72.
Government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said Saturday that Christofias' funeral will be held with honors befitting a sitting head of state.

Turkey's activities within Cyprus' exclusive economic zone (EEZ) are tantamount to an attack on the Republic of Cyprus, government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou has said.

Cyprus' government spokesman says a partnership between Greece, Cyprus and Israel in which the US is participating is seen by Washington as contributing to security and stability in the eastern Mediterranean.

The three countries have forged an energy-based partnership that has steadily grown following the discovery of gas deposits in the east Mediterrenean.

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades will issue a demarche to British Prime Minister Theresa May over the "unacceptable" comments made in the British Parliament on Tuesday by UK Minister of State for Europe Alan Duncan, who described Cyprus' exclusive economic zone (EEZ), where Turkey plans to conduct exploratory hydrocarbon activities, as an area whose "sovereignty is under dispute."

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades is seeking support from other European Union leaders at an informal summit in Romania against Turkey's bid to drill for hydrocarbons in waters where the Mediterranean island nation has exclusive economic rights.

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades will hold a meeting in China next week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Anastasiades departs on Monday for China where he will participate in the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. The Cypriot President will hold a meeting with his Chinese counterpart President Xi Jinping, while he will also meet with the Russian President.

Cyprus' Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides said Friday that the UN envoy for peace negotiations, Jane Holl Lute, has proposed a set of new ideas to help kickstart the talks.
