High Commission of the Republic of Cyprus in Kenya

Cyprus 🇨🇾 and Ethiopia 🇪🇹 are continuing to build a strong framework of cooperation and bilateral relations.

Following the official visit to Ethiopia of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus, Dr. Constantinos Kombos, in October 2025, the first round of Political Consultations between the two countries was held on 12 May 2026 in Addis Ababa.

Discussions focussed on ways to strengthen and expand bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation, on EU-Ethiopia relations, including in the context of the Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 🇪🇺 , as well as on regional issues of common interest.

Within the framework of an official visit to Ethiopia, the delegation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus 🇨🇾, had the opportunity to meet with the Ethiopian 🇪🇹 Airlines Management team, including the Group Chief Commercial Officer, the Group Vice President Strategic Planning & Alliances, and the Managing Director for Cargo and Logistics. The meeting focused on the opportunities and potential for increased connectivity between Cyprus, Ethiopia, and beyond.

A big thank you to the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Kenya for the warm welcome and for hosting the inaugural session of political consultations between the Republic of Cyprus and the Republic of Kenya, following the signing of the MoU on Political and Diplomatic Consultations last year.

On Remembrance Day, we remember the victims of the Genocide and vow to uphold their sacred memory.
