President to return Sunday

President Nicos Anastasiades will return to Cyprus on Sunday after recovering from open heart surgery at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
Reliable sources told CNA that the President will be arriving in the afternoon via London. He is expected to return to his duties at the Presidential Palace early next week.
The President underwent a heart surgery on December 2.
Cardiac surgeon David Adams, who performed the operation, said that the health problems which Anastasiades faced have been fully addressed and that the President is ready to return to his duties.
US Vice President Joe Biden, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland were among the officials who visited President Anastasiades during his recovery.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
