Cyprus wants a better friendship with Turkey. President Nikos Christodoulides asked President Erdoğan. He invited him to a meeting in April. Cyprus will have the meeting.
Cyprus also said other people can come. Turkey's Foreign Minister can come. A Deputy Minister for Europe can come. These steps show Cyprus wants talks. Cyprus is in charge of the EU Council now.
Cyprus wants a good relationship. They hope for good news. This is important because EU and Turkey have problems. Cyprus wants to talk. They need to talk because of many issues.
President Christodoulides told us his plan. He said EU groups will help. They asked President Erdoğan or other ministers. This plan hopes for more talks.
But Turkey did not say yes yet. President Christodoulides said Turkey's answer is "not positive." This shows EU and Turkey still have big problems. Cyprus still wants to talk.
This is important for Cyprus. It shows they want to work with Europe. It also shows problems in the Eastern Mediterranean. We do not know if talks will happen. But Cyprus is hopeful.
