Cyprus marks 66 years of independence emphasizing defense and strengthening of the Republic
The Republic of Cyprus celebrated the 66th anniversary of its independence on August 16, marking the day the Constitution came into force in 1960. The historic signing took place at midnight in the House of Representatives, signed by the last British Governor, Hugh Foot, alongside the first President, Archbishop Makarios III, and Vice President Fazıl Küçük.
The President of Cyprus highlighted the Republic as the nation's most significant achievement, stressing the importance of respecting, protecting, and continuously strengthening its standing both domestically and internationally. Despite ongoing challenges and external pressures, including the Turkish occupation, Cyprus maintains valuable strategic assets and partnerships in the energy sector and regional cooperation.
Geographically situated as a bridge between the EU and the Middle East, Cyprus has endured efforts to undermine its sovereignty and continues progressing forward. The government acknowledges past mistakes but emphasizes learning from them as essential to securing the future of the state, which remains the only path forward since the 1974 invasion.
