Deputy Minister of Shipping Marina Hadjimanolis is heading to Brussels on Tuesday for a working visit, where she will speak at the European Shipping Summit (ESS), organised by the European Shipowners’ Association.

As part of her visit, Hadjimanolis will meet with Cypriot MEPs to outline Cyprus’ positions on European shipping and the Deputy Ministry’s initiatives ahead of the country’s upcoming presidency of the Council of the EU.

The meeting aims to strengthen cooperation and ensure alignment on key maritime policies.

Moreover, she will hold a bilateral meeting with Finland’s Minister of Transport and Communications, Lulu Ranne, to discuss issues of common interest, including the challenges facing European and global shipping.

The talks are expected to focus on sustainability, competitiveness, and regulatory developments within the sector.
