Positive Initial Response from Nicosia Regarding the Founding Conference of the 'Council of Peace'

The Cypriot Government is positively considering the invitation from the US President to participate in the founding conference of the 'Council of Peace' in Washington on February 19th. President Christodoulides will consult with other European leaders before giving his final answer, ensuring that the framework of the conference is compatible with International Law and UN resolutions. The invitation focuses exclusively on the issue of rebuilding Gaza, which facilitates the approach of European leaders. However, the non-invitation of all EU member states has sparked discussions and different approaches, as Cyprus holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Telephone conversations between European leaders are expected to coordinate their position.
