Met with Ireland’s Ambassador to Cyprus Sarah Hamilton ahead of the General Affairs Council meeting of European Ministers today and tomorrow. Ireland takes up the 6 month presidency from Cyprus next month and I’ll be setting out our priorities for the term at this week’s meeting 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

The Cypriot EU Presidency is coming to an end and we truly could not have made it without the help of two incredible people who acted as liaison officers between the embassy and Cypriot authorities to coordinate all the visits.

Thank you so much, Panos and Irene! Hopefully we will meet again soon! 🇮🇪🇨🇾

Today we celebrate Europe Day. For more than 50 years, Ireland’s 🇮🇪 membership of the European Union has had an overwhelmingly positive impact across all dimensions of Irish society.

EU membership has been central to Ireland’s development and transformation into a modern, open and innovative economy.

Closer integration with our European partners has helped to make us all safer, stronger and more prosperous.

From July to December 2026, Ireland will hold the Presidency of the Council of the European Union – a central leadership role at the heart of EU decision-making.

For six months, Ireland will guide negotiations, broker agreement between Member States, and help deliver EU laws and policies that affect the daily lives of more than 450 million people.

AHDR presented its work and shared insights on education as a confidence-building measure in Cyprus, highlighting the important role of the Peace Education program ‘Imagine’ in fostering dialogue and mutual understanding.. We look forward to building on this positive engagement through joint initiatives that foster dialogue and cooperation.

The Association for Historical Dialogue and Research thanks Embassy of Ireland Cyprus for the discussion on possible collaboration and support for the AHDR’s work. 🌍
