Cyprus and Japan to deepen cooperation in shipping, business, technology, and education following high-level talks
Cyprus and Japan are set to strengthen cooperation across key sectors including shipping, business, technology, and higher education, following talks between their foreign ministers in Tokyo. The meeting on Monday marked the first visit by a Cypriot foreign minister to Japan in eight years and was described as opening a “new chapter” in bilateral relations.
Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos and Japanese counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi discussed expanding economic ties, maritime connectivity, and scientific collaboration, highlighting Cyprus’ growing role as a financial and technological hub in the Mediterranean. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to international law and shared interests as maritime nations, emphasizing the importance of maintaining global maritime order and freedom of navigation.
The dialogue also built on existing agreements, including memoranda on higher education and innovation, and recent developments such as increased Cyprus-flagged vessels and heightened business exchanges. Kombos’ visit included meetings at Waseda University and with parliamentary friendship groups, aiming to further broaden Cyprus-Japan cooperation across political, academic, and economic domains.
