Cyprus stands in solidarity with the people of the United States, Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos said on Friday at a ceremony at the US Embassy in Nicosia on the 25th anniversary since 9/11, reaffirming Nicosia’s commitment to the values that unite the two countries.
‘We will never forget’, US Ambassador John Breslow said.
In a post on X, on the ceremony held at the US Embassy in Nicosia, Kombos said that 25 years on, they honoured the victims’ memory ‘and reaffirm our shared commitment to peace, freedom, human dignity and the values that unite us.’ ‘Terrorism knows no borders. Our resolve must remain stronger than ever. Cyprus stands in solidarity with the people of the United States’, Kombos added, reiterating Nicosia’s readiness to work even more closely with the United States.
‘This is a partnership of choice, a foreign policy directive, and a direction to the future’ he said.
Ambassador Breslow, in his own post on X, noted that, twenty-five years ago today, 2,977 people went to work ‘and never came home’. Today, he said, with Kombos, they honoured their memory ‘and the enduring resilience of the American spirit’. ‘We will never forget’, he said.
