On behalf of the United States of America, I send best wishes to the people of the Republic of Cyprus on Independence Day.
The Republic of Cyprus and its citizens play a key role in ensuring security and prosperity in the Eastern Mediterranean region. In the coming year, we hope to continue deepening the growing relationship between our countries and people through economic, cultural, educational and security ties.
The United States remains committed to its support for a Cypriot-led, UN-facilitated global agreement to reunify the island as a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality for all Cypriots.
