AKEL: Will the Government Join Trump's Council?

AKEL issued a statement calling on the government to answer whether it will join the "Council for Peace" established by Donald Trump. The party expresses concern about the possibility of participation, as it believes that this council aims to undermine and replace the UN. AKEL emphasizes that the government must take into account the objections expressed by many states and governments of the EU and the world regarding this undertaking. It also points out that Cyprus bases its foreign policy and struggles for liberation on international law and UN resolutions. The statement by AKEL indicates a strong opposition to the prospect of Cyprus’s participation in a scheme considered to undermine the role of the UN and international law, highlighting the importance the party places on maintaining the Cypriot position based on these principles.
