A new era for the Mediterranean: An interview with Cypriot Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides

Cyprus hosted a meeting of top diplomats on Friday from Israel, the UAE, and Greece for talks they said reflected the “changing face” of the Middle East. Cyprus, Greece, and Israel already have a regional partnership, but talks in the Cypriot city of Paphos on Friday marked the first time that the UAE participated, a result of the shifting alliances brought about by the Abraham Accords. Cypriot Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides said the meeting signifies a new era for the region, driven by the common vision “of the wider Eastern Mediterranean, Middle East, and Gulf as an area of stability, prosperity and peace”.

Cyprus’s Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides joins us to discuss this latest diplomatic initiative, and look at the important role Cyprus is playing in the broader region.
