08.11.2012 18:16 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
Ukraine is ready to comprehensively deepen relations with Cyprus, President Viktor Yanukovych said at extended talks with President of Cyprus Dimitris Christofias in Nicosia on Thursday, NRCU reports.
Yanukovych went on a two-day official visit to Cyprus, the first ever Ukrainian President’s visit to the country since establishing diplomatic relations 19 years ago. «Im confident that we are opening a new stage of relations, which will be more dynamic, more effective, and we are ready for the comprehensive deepening of relations with Cyprus,» he said. Yanukovych said that the agreements reached during the Cypriot presidents visit to Kyiv last December would be continued in the agreements to be signed during the current visit of the Ukrainian president to Cyprus. However, Yanukovych said it was a mistake that leaders of the two states had not met before. Christofias, in turn, said that Ukraine and Cyprus had «a strong foundation,» which helps develop relations between the two countries.
