The importance of the positions of the President of France, Emanuel Macron, on the security of Cyprus, is underlined by the President of DISY Anita Demetriou.
As she notes in a message, “the clear and strong positions of the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, highlight in the clearest way that the security of the Republic of Cyprus is a European priority.
Together with the forthcoming signing of the SOFA agreement in June, as well as the intensification of the discussion on the activation of the reciprocal clause defence of the EU, a more robust security framework for our country is taking shape.”
She notes that “these developments are far from being conjunctural. They are a continuation and confirmation of a timeless strategy, which was set by the founder of our party, Glafkos Clerides: that Cyprus’ security is ensured through its deep integration into European and Western structures and through strong strategic alliances.
The Democratic Rally has been and remains the constant exponent of this policy. A policy that enhances Cyprus’ geostrategic role, upgrades its international position and creates real conditions of deterrence and security.
In an unstable geopolitical environment, Cyprus cannot proceed with illusions or isolationism. It must invest in alliances, credibility and institutional strength.
This is the course that has been charted.
This is the course that is paying off.
This is the course that is rightly being pursued and we must continue with consistency and responsibility, far from logical toxicity and populism.”
