Foreign Affairs Secretary Theresa Lazaro and Cyprus Foreign Affairs Minister Constantinos Kombos met in New York to boost bilateral ties, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Thursday.
The meeting took place during the 80th United Nations General Assembly on September 24. Both officials discussed strengthening cooperation bilaterally and in multilateral fora.
Kombos expressed gratitude to Lazaro in an X post, saying he looked forward to “further enhancement” of the Philippines-Cyprus relationship.
The Cypriot minister also reaffirmed his support for stronger relations between the Philippines and the European Union.
In 2024, former foreign secretary Enrique Manalo also met with Kombos, marking the first official visit of a Philippine foreign secretary to Cyprus.
