The next meeting within the framework of the ‘3+1’ scheme, that is Cyprus, Greece, Israel and the United States has been agreed, it was reported on Friday.
The news comes following the postponement of an earlier trilateral meeting, scheduled for July 23, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu experienced health issues.
In a recent telephone conversation Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos and his US counterpart, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Anthony Blinken, discussed continuity of cooperation within the ‘3+1’ format, the state broadcaster CyBC reported.
According to the report, at the next meeting of the four states, whose details are to be determined, the operation of a dialogue forum is expected to be launched. The dialogue is to cover a range of issues, including the critical matter of energy.
Discussion between Cyprus, Greece, Israel and the USA, will also include a focus on issues of cyber security and the blue economy.
Earlier in March a trilateral meeting between Cyprus, Greece and Israel had taken place at the presidential palace, between the foreign minister and his then Greek and Israeli counterparts Nikos Dendias and Eli Cohen.
