The US is working to strengthen security and energy cooperation with Cyprus, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Wes Mitchell told Congress’ Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday.
He noted that Washington is constructing a long-term strategy to bolster their presence in the Eastern Mediterranean.
“We are cultivating Greece as an anchor of stability in the Mediterranean and Western Balkans and working to systematically strengthen security and energy cooperation with Cyprus,” Mitchell said.
