The Foreign Minister of the Republic of Cyprus, H.E. Mr Nikos Christodoulides, will participate in the meeting as the Guest Speaker. He will be discussing the achievements and challenges faced by the Republic of Cyprus as it celebrates 60 years of independence later in 2020. Mr Christodoulides will also give an overview of the latest developments on the Cyprus issue and Turkey’s recent illegal actions in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone. 

Members of Parliament from across the major British political parties will be participating and it will be an opportunity to hear them discuss the Cyprus issue and the important contribution made by Cypriots in the UK. The APPG for Cyprus has long supported a just and viable solution to the Cyprus issue and continues to work hard to promote positive relations between the UK and the Republic of Cyprus.
