Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Nikos Christodoulides highlight the positive results of the two economies at the Greek-Cypriot business forum and, pointing to the path of fiscal balance, stress that the goal of Athens and Nicosia is to further expand cooperation. 

"In Greece's relations with Cyprus, the focus has always been on national issues and major geopolitical challenges... Now we have developed a cooperation plan worthy of the fraternal relations between the two states... The excellent level of our relations is also reflected in the economic field, Mitsotakis said. As the Prime Minister said, Cyprus, with greater responsibility, faced the severe economic crisis that hit the two countries.

"We experimented with populism... We lost at least five years. We paid for an unnecessary third memorandum, and only after 2019 are we implementing a policy that today has measurable results... We seek to deepen the footprint of the two states in the international environment with the aim of creating a business pole in Eastern Europe." 

The Prime Minister noted that Greece is rebuilding its own architecture in the economy... "We have regained the investment grade. We are leading the European growth rates. We have managed to reduce unemployment to single digits... We are recording the largest reduction in public debt in the OECD over time, and we are gaining the confidence of the markets... Financial responsibility is a non-negotiable priority of our economic policy, Mitsotakis said. 

"At the European level we are discussing the Draghi report, which should not be left in the discussion, but we should take concrete actions as member states... The biggest investment in Cyprus is from Greece, and it exceeds one billion... Cyprus and Greece, having left behind a long period of challenges, are healthy and stable economies... We are pillars of stability, and we have a combination of advantages that can attract investments, which in turn create new jobs."
