During a recent visit to Cyprus, Christos Tuton, President of NEPOMAK, held meetings with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign of Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus and the Presidential Commissioner of the Republic of Cyprus.
On Tuesday 24th August,
Mr Tuton visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nicosia for a meeting with Mr Kornelios Korneliou, Permanent Secretary
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting, Mr Tuton and Mr Korneliou discussed the prospects for the resumption of Cyprus issue negotiations,
the situation in Varosha in light of Turkey’s illegal ‘opening’ of a small part of the fenced off area, and the positive and stable role
that Cyprus plays in the Eastern Mediterranean and the wider region.
During his visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr Tuton also  briefly caught up with Foreign Minister Nikos Christodoulides

On Wednesday 25th August, Mr Tuton met with Presidential Commissioner Photis Photiou, who is responsible for the
Cypriot diaspora and the missing
persons issue.
During their meeting they discussed a wide range of issues relating to the diaspora,
Cyprus’ missing persons, potential future projects, and NEPOMAK’s efforts to raise awareness about climate change.
Following his meetings,Christos Tuton commented,“With international travel still
difficult, and with the COVID-19 pandemic situation still unpredictable, we were unable to host our annual NEPOMAK Conference this year, bringing together young, diaspora Cypriots from all around the world. I am therefore pleased to have been able to visit the island myself, to see how it is successfully overcoming the pandemic, and to continue NEPOMAK’s close cooperation with the Cypriot Government. During my meetings, I reaffirmed that NEPOMAK
stands alongside the government and people of Cyprus in their pursuit for a reunified island and the end of Turkey’s
illegal occupation. I also took the opportunity to express our gratitude towards the Cypriot Government for their excellent
support for NEPOMAK.”
