Christodoulides begins official visit to Germany, discussing Cyprus issue

According to the Fileleftheros newspaper, the focus of the meeting between Christodoulides and Scholz will be on the Cyprus issue, while discussions are also expected to cover bilateral relations and EU matters. Christodoulides is hopeful that Germany, which has been a key ally to Cyprus in the past, will take a more proactive role in resolving the Cyprus issue through engagement with Turkey.

The Haravgi newspaper noted that Christodoulides had earlier attended the 25th anniversary celebrations of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, where he met with the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde. During the meeting, Christodoulides discussed issues related to the Cyprus issue, the economy, and illegal immigration. In the context of the celebrations, the Foreign Minister also met with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Parliament Speaker Roberta Metsola, and European Council President Charles Michel.
