The president of Cyprus has expressed a strong commitment to expanding defense and security cooperation with the United States following a recent meeting with President Joe Biden. President Nikos Christodoulides highlighted the deepening strategic partnership between Cyprus and the U.S. over the past 18 months, focusing on areas such as law enforcement cooperation, countering money laundering, and energy initiatives.
A key aspect of this security cooperation is the CYCLOPS center, funded by the U.S., which provides training in port and maritime security to officials from neighboring countries like Libya, Yemen, and Lebanon. President Christodoulides emphasized Cyprus' geostrategic role and its potential to contribute to regional stability and prosperity.
