نشعر بصدمة وحزن عميقين إزاء الهجوم الإرهابي الشنيع بكنيسة القديس جاورجيوس بالكرك في الأردن. تقف قبرص بتضامن تام مع أصدقائنا في هذه الأوقات العصيبة. نتقدم بخالص تعازينا لأسر الضحايا، وللشعب والحكومة الأردنية، ونتمنى الشفاء العاجل للمصابين.

We are deeply honored by President's Herzog message of friendship

[Cyprus in Israel @CyprusinIsrael]

Marking the 66th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Cyprus, our Embassy brought together officials, diplomats and friends of Cyprus at a reception in Tel Aviv on 20 October. 🇨🇾🇮🇱

In his video message, President Isaac Herzog highlighted the special relationship between Cyprus and Israel.

“Our strategic partnership is built on shared values, converging interests and a relationship of trust.”

Ambassador Korneliou emphasised, highlighting practical cooperation connecting our societies and economies. He also recalled President Herzog’s third visit to Cyprus in September as a reaffirmation of our growing ties.

The Ambassador renewed the call for a reunited, peaceful and prosperous Cyprus: “Cyprus is too small to remain divided, but it is big enough for Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots to live together in peace.”

Representing the Israeli Government, Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli stated: “We are neighbors by geography and allies by choice.” He stressed our partnership’s contribution to security and prosperity in the Eastern Mediterranean.

A rare coin from ancient Salamis in Cyprus, recently discovered near Ashdod, offered a reminder of the maritime and commercial ties connecting our lands some 2,500 years ago.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating Cyprus and its people.

66 χρόνια ανεξαρτησίας εορτάζουμε σήμερα.

Τιμούμε όλους όσοι συνέβαλαν με τους αγώνες και τις θυσίες τους στη θεμελίωση και στην προστασία της Κυπριακής Δημοκρατίας.

Η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία είναι και θα παραμείνει παρούσα. Με ενεργό συμμετοχή στα διεθνή δρώμενα, με πρωτοβουλίες και ουσιαστικές συνεργασίες, με αξιοπιστία και προβλεψιμότητα για τους εταίρους της.

Ένα Κράτος κυρίαρχο, ισότιμο μέλος της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης και της διεθνούς κοινότητας.

Παρά τις προκλήσεις και τους κινδύνους η Κυπριακή Δημοκρατία απέδειξε την ανθεκτικότητά της και συνεχίζει τον αγώνα επιβίωσης.

Ο στόχος παραμένει ένας: η απελευθέρωση και επανένωση της πατρίδας μας μέσα από την επίτευξη βιώσιμης και λειτουργικής λύσης του Κυπριακού, που να διασφαλίζει την ασφάλεια και την προοπτική όλων των Κυπρίων.

Με αυτοπεποίθηση, συνέπεια και προσήλωση στο καθήκον μας, συνεχίζουμε.

Χρόνια Πολλά στην Κύπρο μας.
Χρόνια Πολλά στον κυπριακό λαό.
