President to visit Saudi in New Year

President Nicos Anastasiades is to travel to Saudi Arabia in January on an official visit, it was reported on Monday.

According to state broadcaster CyBC, Anastasiades, along with a large delegation from Cyprus are to visit Riyad in the first half of January, to discuss bilateral relations and regional developments. The visit is in response to the invitation the Saudi Arabian government extended to Anastasiades.

Anastasiades visited Saudi Arabia in 2015 to pay his respects to the Saudi royal family after the death of King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud.

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.
