The President of Cyprus announced his intention to discuss the future of British bases on the island.

Cyprus may soon raise the issue of the future fate of the British military bases on the island. This was stated on March 6 by President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides after a meeting in Nicosia with the head of the British foreign intelligence Service MI6, Blaze Metreveli.

According to him, this can be done after the end of the conflict in the Middle East.

"The [official] government representative [Konstantinos Letimpiotis] and the Minister of Foreign Affairs [Konstantinos Kombos] have already been asked about this. And I'm not ruling anything out," the politician said.

Christodoulidis did not provide details of the content of the meeting with Metreveli, indicating that this could not be discussed in public.
