I truly hope that this meeting will be the beginning of a more consistent, more results-oriented dialogue between the EU and its partners. A dialogue with a clear, shared objective: A stronger European Union. Hand in hand with a stronger, more stable region. And partnerships that deliver and endure. Cyprus, at the crossroads of three continents, will continue to act as a bridge. A bridge between the European Union and our wider region. A bridge that connects and delivers. Always consistent with our role as an enabler of security and stability. Because crises and challenges pave a path for opportunities. That is the path we are walking today.
