Welcome to Cyprus
Mr Demetris Christofias
President of the Republic of Cyprus
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Cyprus portal of the Commonwealth of Nations Website
Our country is committed to the Commonwealth's shared values and it has been an active member of this family of nations since 1961. The Commonwealth has maintained throughout the years a principled position on the Cyprus problem for which we are grateful.
In Cyprus you will discover a compact world of alluring beaches and fragrant mountain peaks, vineyards studded with olive trees and ancient ruins that stir the imagination.
Cyprus offers a strategic location, favourable tax environment, educated work force, excellent telecommunications, modern banking and legal infrastructure which make the country the perfect business bridge for the European Union and the Middle East. Our country has a proven record of macroeconomic stability and has recently joined the Eurozone. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Cyprus has established itself as a key outpost in the eastern Mediterranean from which to launch a business or investment venture into Europe. Cyprus aspires to become one of the region's economic and financial operations centres, a communications and transport hub and a meeting place for peoples and cultures.
Once again, I would like to welcome you to the Cyprus portal and invite you to explore the plethora of opportunities Cyprus has to offer.
