The Federation works closely to support the activities of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Cyprus. We are proud and grateful to have such powerful advocates for the cause of Cyprus and its diaspora in Parliament.
The APPG works to promote relationships between the UK and the Republic of Cyprus and their elected parliamentarians and people, as well as support efforts to reunite the island in line with the agreed UN framework.
