The towns of Paphos and Herzliya in Israel were twinned today in a ceremony by House Speaker/Acting President Dimitris Syllouris.
“The twinning itself highlights and enhances the existing friendly relations between our two countries, which are not limited to the governmental or the parliamentary level, but also spread to the municipal framework. The continuous effort to further strengthen these relations is a result of our joint will, shared vision and common expectations,” said Mr. Syllouris.
Herzliya is an entrepreneurial and educational centre in the northern part of Tel Aviv, just under an hour away by plane.
Cyprus and Israel have grown closer in recent years following the discovery of hydrocarbons in the Eastern Mediterranean and joint cooperation and exploitation agreements.
“Twinnings are initiatives that are both valuable and necessary, as they create the essential circumstances to boost our cooperation further, beyond energy and tourism, also into youth, culture and new technologies, like the very possibilities the two municipalities explore now, given the knowledge and expertise in this field that Herzliya can “export” to Cyprus, through its distinguished academics and businessmen, some of which are present here today.
I am certain Pafos will be happy to also share its know-how with Herzliya in many other fields, which this western-most city of Cyprus excels in,” said Mr. Syllouris.
