SECURITY: Foreign Ministers of Cyprus, Greece and Egypt meet in Nicosia

The ministerial meeting falls within the framework of political consultations between the three countries and is the continuation of the contacts the three Ministers held in New York last month in the framework of the 69th session of the UN General Assembly.

According to an official press release, the meeting will also serve to prepare the High Level meeting of the three governments which will take place in Cairo on 8th November.

At the Nicosia meeting, the Ministers of Cyprus, Greece and Egypt, Ioannis Kasoulides, Evangelos Venizelos and Sameh Hassan Shoukry, respectively, will discuss cooperation in a number of fields, examining at the same time further ways to expand them in the fields of energy, security and tourism.

Discussions will focus on finding the role which the three countries can play in maintaining conditions of security and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean and will also exchange views on regional and international issues of common interest.
