الرئيس Christodulides@ في الاجتماع غير الرسمي أمس لقادة 🇪🇺 مع الشركاء في المنطقة.

[Constantinos Kombos @ckombos]

📍Luxembourg ~ On the sidelines of the Foreign Affairs Council, I met with the Prime Minister of Lebanon Dr Nawaf Salam.

I reiterated Cyprus’ principled support for Lebanon’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The 10-day ceasefire is a meaningful step towards de-escalation across the region and paves the way for lasting peace. Towards this end, it is vital that all parties fully respect and implement what has been agreed. We support the US-mediated talks.

At the same time, the Republic of Cyprus will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to support the people of Lebanon, who are being tested by the latest developments.

Cyprus strongly condemns the attack against UNIFIL peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, which resulted in the loss of a French servicemember and injuries to others. We extend our sincere condolences to the Government and people of France, and wish a swift and full recovery to those injured.

Attacks against United Nations personnel are unacceptable and pose a grave threat to international peace and security.

The ceasefire must be respected.

The 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon is excellent news. It must now be implemented and verified on the ground.

It is essential that Israel and Lebanon engage in meaningful negotiations that deliver concrete results - for the sake of their peoples and the prospect of a sustainable peace.

The EU will continue to support Lebanon.

Empowering the authorities to disarm Hezbollah is the only sustainable solution for restoring Lebanon’s stability.

Written Statement by the Government Spokesperson @SpokespersonCY @letymbiotis on the telephone communication of the President of the Republic 🇨🇾@PresidentCYP @Christodulides with the President of Lebanon 🇱🇧

The President of the Republic, Mr Nikos Christodoulides, held a telephone conversation today with the President of Lebanon, Mr Joseph Aoun, during which he expressed his utmost concern over the indiscriminate Israeli attacks against civilians and critical infrastructure in Lebanon, which resulted in a high number of casualties.

The President of the Republic expressed the full solidarity of the Republic of Cyprus with the Government and people of Lebanon in these difficult times, stressing that there can be no justification for actions that cause widespread human suffering among the civilian population and risk further inflaming an already extremely fragile situation.

He stressed that the current ceasefire in the region should be seized as an opportunity for broader de escalation and for the intensification of diplomatic efforts aimed at lasting stability. In this context, he underscored the vital role of UNIFIL, as well as the need for full respect for its mandate and for United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, noting that the safety and security of United Nations peacekeepers must be ensured at all times.

President Christodoulides further reiterated the imperative need for full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, as well as for an immediate cessation of hostilities by all sides. At the same time, he underlined the readiness of the Republic of Cyprus to send humanitarian assistance and to provide every possible support to the efforts of the Lebanese authorities.

During the telephone conversation, the two leaders also exchanged views on the latest developments in Lebanon and the wider region, as well as on ways to contribute to the restoration of stability, including through the role that Cyprus can play in support of Lebanon in the framework of its current Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Following the telephone conversation, and in response to the call to support the people of Lebanon, who are being tested by the latest developments, the Republic of Cyprus has already proceeded, through #CyprusAid, with the disbursement of a total amount of EUR 300,000 in humanitarian assistance to the country, through @UNICEFLebanon and @WFPLebanon. The Republic of Cyprus will continue to support the efforts of the Government of Lebanon in managing the emergency situation facing the country, particularly in relation to critical issues affecting the living conditions of the Lebanese people, while also expressing its appreciation to @UNICEF and @WFP for the highly important work they are carrying out on the ground.

[Κυβερνητικός Εκπρόσωπος Κωνσταντίνος Λετυμπιώτης @SpokespersonCY]

Ο Πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας @PresidentCYP @Christodulides είχε σήμερα, τηλεφωνική επικοινωνία με τον Πρόεδρο του Λιβάνου κ. Ζοζέφ Αούν, κατά τη διάρκεια της οποίας εξέφρασε την ύψιστη ανησυχία του για τις αδιάκριτες ισραηλινές επιθέσεις κατά αμάχων και κρίσιμων υποδομών στον Λίβανο, οι οποίες είχαν ως αποτέλεσμα μεγάλο αριθμό θυμάτων.

Ο Πρόεδρος της Δημοκρατίας εξέφρασε την πλήρη αλληλεγγύη της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας προς την Κυβέρνηση και τον λαό του Λιβάνου σε αυτές τις δύσκολες στιγμές, υπογραμμίζοντας ότι δεν μπορεί να υπάρξει καμία δικαιολογία για ενέργειες που προκαλούν εκτεταμένη ανθρώπινη οδύνη στον άμαχο πληθυσμό και εγκυμονούν τον κίνδυνο περαιτέρω ανάφλεξης μιας ήδη εξαιρετικά εύθραυστης κατάστασης.

Τόνισε ότι η υφιστάμενη εκεχειρία στην περιοχή θα πρέπει να αξιοποιηθεί ως ευκαιρία για ευρύτερη αποκλιμάκωση και για εντατικοποίηση των διπλωματικών προσπαθειών με στόχο τη διαρκή σταθερότητα. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, υπογράμμισε τον ζωτικής σημασίας ρόλο της UNIFIL, καθώς και την ανάγκη πλήρους σεβασμού της εντολής της και του Ψηφίσματος 1701 του Συμβουλίου Ασφαλείας των Ηνωμένων Εθνών, επισημαίνοντας ότι η ασφάλεια και η προστασία των ειρηνευτικών δυνάμεων των Ηνωμένων Εθνών πρέπει να διασφαλίζονται ανά πάσα στιγμή.

Ο Πρόεδρος Χριστοδουλίδης επανέλαβε, περαιτέρω, την επιτακτική ανάγκη πλήρους σεβασμού της κυριαρχίας και της εδαφικής ακεραιότητας του Λιβάνου, καθώς και άμεσης παύσης των εχθροπραξιών από όλες τις πλευρές. Παράλληλα, επανέλαβε την ετοιμότητα της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας να αποστείλει ανθρωπιστική βοήθεια και να παράσχει κάθε δυνατή στήριξη στις προσπάθειες των λιβανικών Αρχών.

Κατά τη διάρκεια της τηλεφωνικής επικοινωνίας, οι δύο ηγέτες αντάλλαξαν επίσης απόψεις για τις τελευταίες εξελίξεις στον Λίβανο και στην ευρύτερη περιοχή, καθώς και για τρόπους συμβολής στην αποκατάσταση της σταθερότητας, περιλαμβανομένου και του ρόλου που μπορεί να διαδραματίσει η Κύπρος προς στήριξη του Λιβάνου, στο πλαίσιο της τρέχουσας Προεδρίας της στο Συμβούλιο της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.

Σε συνέχεια της τηλεφωνικής επικοινωνίας, η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία ανταποκρινόμενη στο κάλεσμα για στήριξη του πληθυσμού του Λιβάνου που δοκιμάζεται από τις τελευταίες εξελίξεις,  έχει ήδη προχωρήσει, μέσω του #CyprusAid, στην καταβολή συνολικού ποσού 300.000 ευρώ ως ανθρωπιστική αρωγή προς τη χώρα, μέσω της @UNICEFLebanon και του @WFPLebanon. Η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία θα συνεχίσει να στηρίζει τις προσπάθειες της Κυβέρνησης του Λιβάνου για τη διαχείριση της έκτακτης ανάγκης που αντιμετωπίζει η χώρα, ιδίως σε σχέση με κρίσιμα ζητήματα που επηρεάζουν τη διαβίωση του λιβανικού λαού, εκφράζοντας παράλληλα τις ευχαριστίες της προς τη @UNICEF και το @WFP για το ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό έργο που επιτελούν επί του πεδίου.

[Constantinos Kombos @ckombos]

Spoke to my Lebanese counterpart @YoussefRaggi, stressing the need for immediate de-escalation by all parties and the imperative of protecting civilians in line with international humanitarian law.

Cyprus extends its deepest condolences to the family of the fallen peacekeeper of UNIFIL in Lebanon and to the Republic of Indonesia, and wishes swift recovery to those injured.

Attacks against UN personnel constitute grave violations of international law and must cease without delay.

We call for immediate de-escalation and full compliance with UNSCR 1701, and reaffirm our strong support for UNIFIL and its essential mandate.
