Ambassador Al-Khorafi took the opportunity to lead an expanded discussion on pressing regional and international developments, focusing particularly on the Middle East. Topics included the ongoing crises in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, with a strong emphasis on how these events affect regional stability.

The luncheon also served as a platform for talks on enhancing cooperation between Cyprus and GCC countries, as well as broader Arab nations. The discussions highlighted opportunities to strengthen ties in key sectors such as education, culture, trade, investment, and tourism. The aim is to build closer connections between people and foster mutual benefits.

In his opening speech, Ambassador Al-Khorafi stressed the importance of promoting dialogue at both governmental and societal levels, not only between Kuwait and Cyprus, but across the entire GCC and Arab world. He expressed his gratitude for the presence of President Demetriou, noting that her participation symbolized Cyprus’ commitment to advancing relations with Kuwait and its regional partners.

President Demetriou, in turn, thanked the ambassador for his hospitality, reflecting on the fruitful discussions and shared goals for enhancing Cyprus’ relations with Kuwait and the wider Arab world. She reaffirmed the importance of cooperation and strategic partnerships between Cyprus and the GCC countries, especially in areas of mutual interest and concern.

This meeting, according to Demetriou, was a testament to the strong diplomatic relations between Cyprus and Kuwait, as well as the ongoing efforts to broaden and deepen ties with the Arab world.
