Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on November 7 will visit Cyprus ahead of the trilateral summit in Cairo, according to Cyprus’ government spokesman Nikos Christodoulides.

Asked whether the trilateral summit in Egypt essentially finalizes the cooperation of Cyprus, Greece and Egypt in the energy sector, the government spokesman said that this is a very important meeting, which is expected to come to some conclusions.

Mr. Christodoulides also said that there are already advanced consultations at the level of Foreign Ministers of the three countries, who will meet in Nicosia on October 29 to prepare for the Cairo meeting.

The Cyprus government spokesman did not rule out the broadening of this dialogue with other neighboring countries, noting the great comparative advantage of Cyprus, due to its excellent relations with all the countries of the region except Turkey. He said that discussions are in progress between Cyprus and Israel, whereas Israel’s Foreign Minister will visit Cyprus for two days on November 5.
