The President of the European People's Party (EPP), Manfred Weber, has agreed with President Nikos Christodoulides that the EU should play an active and leading role in efforts to solve the Cyprus issue.

In a telephone conversation on Friday, Weber and Christodoulides also agreed that the President’s proposal will be presented at the upcoming EEP Conference.

According to an official press release, during their phone conversation they discussed Christodoulides’ participation in the EPP Sessions. Weber has already invited the President to participate in the upcoming EPP Summit that will take place before the European Council on 23 March, in Brussels.
