Press release by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the US State Department Report on Terrorism


The recent publication of the Report on Terrorism of the US Department of State, as well as its commendatory references to the Republic of Cyprus, constitute proof and acknowledgment of the enhanced role Cyprus plays in the crucial area of the Southeastern Mediterranean, as a factor of security and stability.


Over the last year, the authorities of the Republic of Cyprus have cooperated closely and efficiently with the Services of various countries with a view to managing international security challenges, laying emphasis on combating terrorism, the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the cracking down on organized crime, human trafficking and illegal immigration.

Cyprus, fully implementing its international obligations, will continue to work methodically so as to address the international disproportionate threats of an established universal nature.
