President Christodoulides expressed gratitude for India’s support regarding the Cyprus issue, while Prime Minister Modi reciprocated by recognizing Cyprus as a ‘reliable partner’ in international arenas.

Interestingly, during the Limassol Business Forum, where business moguls from both countries gathered, discussions about investment opportunities made it evident that Cyprus ranks eighth as a foreign investor in India.

Meanwhile, in celebration of the deepening ties, Modi was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Makarios III—an honor symbolizing the enduring friendship and common values shared by both countries. This accolade further sets the stage for future cooperation.
