Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya met with the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, on the sidelines of the European Political Community Summit in Dublin.
The two agreed on a visit by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya to Cyprus. They also revisited issues discussed at their 2024 meeting, including alien passport issuance to Belarusians who cannot return to Belarus and renew their passports due to political repression.
Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya thanked President Christodoulides for the concrete steps Cyprus had taken following their previous meeting. Nikos Christodoulides noted that Cyprus had fulfilled the commitment made at the time.
The parties discussed the situation of the Belarusian diaspora in Cyprus and support for Belarusian entrepreneurs. Many Belarusians live on the island. Ms. Tsikhanouskaya asked President Christodoulides to ensure they receive as much support as possible so they can live and work legally and develop their businesses in Cyprus.
