A Special Operations Joint Training was co-organized by the National Guard and the German Armed Forces from November 6-10, 2023 within the framework of the Bilateral Defence Cooperation Program.

The joint training is considered to be particularly beneficial, as it foregrounds the excellent relations between the Armed Forces of Cyprus and Germany, operationally contributing to the improvement of interoperability and the exchange of know-how, elements necessary for the execution of joint missions at all levels.
