Greece will support the candidacy of the Republic of Cyprus for re-election in Category C of the Council of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), for the period 2024-25.
According to diplomatic sources, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias informed Cypriot Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos about this decision of the Greek government during their bilateral meeting in Nicosia on Friday.
Elections for Category C of the IMO Council will take place during the 33rd IMO Assembly (27 November - 6 December 2023).
"This decision of the Greek government is part of, among other things, the exceptional level of maritime cooperation between Greece and Cyprus, both bilaterally and within the framework of the European Union," the same sources said.
