The President of the Republic, Mr Nicos Anastasiades, signed today, at the residence of the High Commissioner of the United Kingdom, Mr Irfan Siddiq Obe, the book of condolences for the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

In the book of condolences, the President of the Republic wrote the following: «It is with great sadness that I convey our deepest condolences on behalf of the people and the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as on my own behalf and the First Lady, on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

During Her Majesty’s 70 years of reign, we witnessed the further enhancement of the historical ties between Cyprus and the United Kingdom, both bilaterally as well as within our Commonwealth Family of Nations.

Queen Elizabeth II will always be remembered for Her dedication and commitment to public service as well as Her love and devotion to Her Family.

At these difficult moments of mourning and grief, I would like to extend our heartfelt sympathy to His Majesty King Charles III, the Queen Consort, the Members of the Royal Family and the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.»
