The Anastasiades visit to Paris, will definitely lead to an upgrade in France-Cyprus bilateral relations, said defence minister Charalambos Petrides.
He was asked whether any practical steps or announcements are expected in the next few days.
News are coming, he added, and certain plans will be disclosed soon.
Petrides said that diplomacy and alliances both inside and outside the EU, continue to press home the governments’ goal of reaching a settlement of the Cyprus issue.
