Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides will arrive in Bahrain today on an official visit, the Royal Court announced.
He will hold talks with His Majesty King Hamad, focusing on the close relations and co-operation between the two countries, it said yesterday.
The two leaders will also review regional and international developments.
Bahrain and Cyprus are set to deepen ties with the official inauguration of the Mediterranean island’s embassy in the country during President Christodoulides’ trip, the GDN reported earlier.
This is President Christodoulides’ first visit to Bahrain since Cyprus assumed the presidency of the European Union Council.
“We will officially inaugurate the embassy during the visit of our President to Bahrain,” Cypriot Ambassador Dr Andreas Eliades earlier told the GDN during a media roundtable at the new embassy premises, located at the United Tower in Bahrain Bay.
“This is particularly significant as it coincides with both Cyprus holding the EU presidency and Bahrain chairing the GCC.
“So, it is an ideal occasion where the two chairmanships of these important regional blocs come together to discuss how to advance the strategic partnership.”
Dr Eliades noted that the visit will elevate bilateral partnerships with Bahrain, focusing on higher education, trade and mutually beneficial investments.
He also revealed that a business forum would be organised on the sidelines of the visit to boost trade and investment ties.
