AmCham Cyprus had the pleasure of meeting with the Deputy Minister to the President, Ms. Irene Pikis, in the presence of the Acting Deputy Chief of Mission of the US Embassy Shane Siegel, for a constructive and forward-looking exchange on issues of strategic importance to the business community and the broader economy.
The discussion focused on priorities related to competitiveness, regulatory effectiveness, and public–private cooperation, as well as Cyprus’s role as a credible and stable partner in the region. Particular emphasis was placed on strengthening international partnerships that support sustainable growth and innovation.
A significant part of the meeting was dedicated to the US–Cyprus strategic relationship and to ongoing bilateral and regional initiatives that enhance economic and institutional cooperation. These include the US–Cyprus Strategic Dialogue, which provides a structured framework for collaboration across areas such as trade and investment, energy, digital transformation, education, and security, as well as regional cooperation initiatives, including the 3+1 format with the United States, Greece, and Israel, supporting stability and energy cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The exchange also highlighted opportunities to deepen cooperation in areas such as technology and innovation, clean energy, professional services, and talent development, building on existing transatlantic ties and shared values.
As the voice of the American and international business community in Cyprus, AmCham Cyprus remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen US–Cyprus economic engagement, encourage high‑quality investment, and foster long‑term, inclusive growth.
We thank Ms. Pikis for her constructive engagement and continued openness to dialogue, and we look forward to further collaboration in support of a dynamic, outward‑looking Cypriot economy.
