Prime Minister Modi said in an official statement, "I heartily thank the Indian community in Cyprus for their love and support. India will continue to make continuous efforts to further strengthen its bilateral relations with Cyprus in the future as well."
The Prime Minister's remarks come at a time when efforts are being made to take the cultural, economic and strategic partnership between India and Cyprus to new heights. Indian diaspora settled in Cyprus is making a significant contribution to the economy, technical sector, education and health services there.
Prime Minister Modi also said that the Indian community
is increasing the pride of India's culture, tradition and values abroad. He
said that this community has become an important link connecting the relations
of the two countries, India and Cyprus.
India and Cyprus have long had strong bilateral
relations. Both countries share a common vision of democratic values, peace and
stability. Recently, several agreements have been signed in areas such as
trade, education and digital cooperation.
According to government sources, in the coming times,
steps such as high-level delegation visits, technical cooperation and
increasing educational opportunities for youth can be taken between India and
Cyprus.
Status of Indian community in Cyprus: More than 8,000
Indian citizens live in Cyprus, including students, professionals, doctors,
engineers and businessmen.
The Indian community is considered very active and
respected in Cyprus. They are playing an important role in the health services,
information technology, education and hotel industry there.
The activities of Indian cultural organizations also keep
the culture of India alive in Cyprus. Through festivals, yoga programs, and
cultural celebrations, the Indian community has not only made its mark, but has
also played the role of a cultural bridge between India and Cyprus.
What will be the impact of this statement on the trade
between the two countries? This positive and cooperative statement of Prime
Minister Modi will give new energy to bilateral trade. Currently, trade between
India and Cyprus is mainly focused on financial services, shipping, tourism and
education.
Experts believe that this message is a sign of confidence
for investors and will encourage Cyprus industrialists to invest in India. At
the same time, Indian companies can also see Cyprus as a gateway to Europe.
The Commerce Ministry says that talks on a free trade
agreement between India and Cyprus can soon begin, which will provide relief in
business taxes.
This statement of Prime Minister Modi is not just a
formal diplomatic statement, but reflects India's global outlook and respect
for the Indian diaspora. This will give new momentum to India-Cyprus relations
and strengthen the possibilities of deep cooperation in the field of trade,
education, culture and technology.
