The Limassol mayor congratulated Hadjimanoli on her recent appointment to the role and invited her to a future event held to be held at city hall for a more in-depth conversation on how the municipality can deepen its collaborative relationship with the ministry.

During the two-hour meeting, Nicolaides and Hadjimanoli also discussed the Limassol Municipality’s participation in the EU Cities Mission initiative.

The Cyprus-Greece Business Association on Wednesday welcomed the joint decision by Cypriot president Nikos Christodoulides and Greek prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to form a new high bilateral council to further promote cooperation between the two countries.
