The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cyprus strongly condemned on Friday the multiple terrorist attacks that took place in Egypt’s North Sinai and Suez, resulting in a high number of casualties, mainly among the security forces of the country.
“We express our deepest condolences and solidarity to the families of the deceased and the Egyptian people at large” the Foreign Ministry states.
Cyprus is extremely concerned over the proliferation of terrorism that threatens peace and stability across the region and stands alongside Egypt in its fight against terrorism and extremism, the statement adds.
