Issues related to the promotion of regional cooperation and dialogue will also be discussed and views will be exchanged, inter alia, on the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean as well as on EU-Israel relations.

Afterwards, the Foreign Minister will have a meeting with the new Minister of Energy Karine Elharrar, with whom they will exchange views on the cooperation between the two countries in the fields of energy and the exploitation of natural resources as well as on prospects for further strengthening regional cooperation.
During his stay in Israel, Mr. Christodoulidis will attend separate meetings with President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, with whom he will have the opportunity to discuss issues related to bilateral relations, the Cyprus issue as well as regional and international issues of common interest.
