Cyprus is becoming an important country. It helps the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) have better talks. Cyprus has old connections with the UK. It also understands British ideas well. Because of this, Cyprus can help with many discussions between the two sides. A good example is a new agreement about fishing.
A key part of this help is a fishing agreement. This deal was finished last year. EU boats can now fish in UK waters. UK boats can also fish in EU waters. This lasts until June 2038. This long time gives fishing boats and towns security. It also fixed a difficult problem from Brexit talks. Cyprus's Fisheries Commissioner, Costas Kadis, said the deal is very important. He said Cyprus understands the UK well. Therefore, Cyprus can help in many talks, not just about fishing.
The fishing deal also shows that the EU can work together. All 27 EU countries agreed on this. This showed that fishing rights were important for everyone. Commissioner Kadis said this strong position helped them get a good result. They achieved a fair deal for fishermen. This agreement helps fishermen's jobs. It also helps the EU's single market.
This new stability in fishing is good for many people. It helps the EU's food supply. This means less price changes for food. It also means fewer problems with supply. This agreement, thanks to Cyprus, is a good example. It can help solve other problems between the EU and UK. The UK is now separate from the EU. It is important for them to talk and find solutions. Cyprus has shown it can help build understanding. It can play a bigger role in their future relationship.
