COMMERCE, Industry and Tourism Minister Nicos Rolandis leaves for Cairo today to hold talks on energy matters with Egypt’s Petroleum Minister Sameh Fahmy. Emphasis will be given to issues such as oil and the transportation, trade and export of the region’s natural gas through a submarine pipe, a government announcement said yesterday.

Cyprus is engaged in talks with Egypt concerning the exploitation of oil and natural gas deposits off their respective coasts. Rolandis will return to Cyprus on October 12.

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.
