Cyprus President will pay an official visit to Russia

Cyprus President Demetris Christofias will pay a three-day official visit to the Russian Federation, beginning November 18, Government Spokesman Stefanos Stefanou said.
“This visit will give a new impetus and enhance the already excellent relations between the two countries,” the Spokesman stressed.
He said the visit is very important, taking into account the role of the Russian Federation on the international political scene. Moscow is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a country which maintains long standing position of principles on the Cyprus question.
“Cyprus invests a lot in the firm, consistent and I would say just position of Russia regarding efforts to solve Cyprus problem,” he added.
Besides the Cyprus problem, the two countries have very good political, economic, trade, tourist and cultural relations, the Spokesman said.
