Press Statement
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State
October 1, 2025
On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of the Republic of Cyprus as they celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Republic of Cyprus's independence.
The Republic of Cyprus is a valued partner of the United States. Our collaboration increases commercial trade, combats illicit financial flows, and strengthens regional security allowing citizens of both our nations to prosper. We are especially grateful for the Republic of Cyprus's assistance in securing the safety of U.S. citizens in crisis zones, one of our highest priorities. We are also committed to a Cypriot-led, UN-facilitated comprehensive settlement to reunify the island as a bizonal, bicommunal federation with political equality for all Cypriots.
