Your Excellency,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Lefkosia and to extend my congratulations on your appointment as Ambassador of the Republic of Cuba to the Republic of Cyprus. I wish you every success in the performance of your duties and assure you that my government stands ready to assist you in your mandate.

Cyprus and Cuba have maintained diplomatic relations for sixty-five years. Cuba was among the very first countries to recognize the Republic of Cyprus upon its independence, on 22 November 1960, thereby laying the foundations of a relationship firmly anchored in the core principles of the United Nations Charter, including sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence.
