Cyprus: Military Alliances
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve (a) military and (b) other defence cooperation with Cyprus.
Answered by Al Carns
The UK continues to share a strong Defence relationship with the Republic of Cyprus, through which we cooperate on matters of shared interest. Bilateral cooperation involves a range of a range of multi-domain activities through training, capability development, and crisis planning, as well as collaborating on domestic and regional challenges. Recently, this included UK support to Republic of Cyprus firefighters using ground and aerial assets to combat wildfires. This united response helped protect 15 villages that were threatened by the flames.
