President Nikos Christodoulides is in Strasbourg on Wednesday ahead of a planned address to the plenary of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

Prior to his speech, he hosted a working breakfast with the Greek Cypriot and Greek delegations to the PACE.

At the working breakfast, the members of the delegation informed Christodoulides about the PACE’s “multifaceted work” and about the “important experiences” they gain from their participation in the assembly.

They also expressed their thanks to Dora Bakoyiannis, head of the Greek delegation, as well its other members, “for their kind and continuous cooperation and support” for the Greek Cypriot delegation’s work.

Additionally, they exchanged views on the current developments regarding the Cyprus problem and other matters of international interest, as well as the role of the Council of Europe.

They also discussed the ongoing situation in Gaza and the planned humanitarian aid corridor between Cyprus and Gaza.

The Turkish Cypriot delegation was not invited to the breakfast, but delegate Armagan Candan confirmed to the Cyprus Mail that they would attend the speech.

Christodoulides’ address is set to begin at 3:30pm.
