Raouna: Cyprus as a bridge between Europe and wider region

Cyprus begins its Presidency of the Council of the European Union with the aim of acting as a bridge between member states, institutions and Europe with the wider region. The Deputy Minister for European Affairs, Marilena Raouna, stated that Cyprus, despite its small size, carries a great European soul and is at a critical crossroads that requires unity and boldness. The Presidency will focus on dialogue, cooperation and bridge-building, leveraging Cyprus's geostrategic position as a meeting point of peoples and cultures.
