Addressing the European Parliament Plenary Session in Strasbourg, President Roberta Metsola said that the Informal Meeting on Cyprus that took place in Geneva marked an important step towards the reunification of Cyprus. She said that we must now seize this momentum and transform opportunity into hope.
The Informal Meeting on Cyprus that took place in Geneva last March marked an important step towards the reunification of the island.
This Parliament stands resolute in supporting the UN-led process, because we know that dialogue and diplomacy are the only path to a lasting solution.
We remain committed to supporting Cyprus on its journey towards reunification, and this was my message to President Christodoulides when I welcomed him at the Parliament and to UN Secretary General Guterres when we met in Brussels.
We must now seize this momentum and transform opportunity into hope. Europe will always stand with Cyprus as we seek paths forward.
The road to reunification is not an easy one, but it is one that we will walk together - with patience, with persistence, and with an understanding that our generation can be the one to find a way forward.
