New Greek PM due in Cyprus on July 29

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will be visiting Cyprus on July 29, as agreed during a telephone conversation on Monday with President Nicos Anastasiades.

Anastasiades and Mitsotakis confirmed the complete alignment of the goals of the two countries, government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said in a post on Twitter.

During his Cyprus visit in two weeks, New Democracy’s Mitsotakis, who swept to power in Greece on July 7 ousting the Syriza government of Alexis Tsipras, will be accompanied by the Greek Foreign Minister Nicos Dendias, who will be meeting with his Cypriot counterpart Nicos Christodoulides.

The two foreign ministers met for the first time in Brussels on Monday.

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.
