Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Terens Quick, following the meeting at the Presidential Palace in Nicosia with the Cypriot Presidential Commissioner, Fotis Fotiou, and Isaac Herzog, Chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel, made the following statements: “It was an extraordinarily successful meeting. New momentum and depth were introduced into our strategy on the issues of our trilateral cooperation, and indeed a week before the trilateral Summit Meeting in Israel, where in the final communiqué of our leaders, Mr. Tsipras, Mr. Anastasiades, and Mr. Netanyahu shall also include diaspora issues. “It was decided for a joint youth tour to be held from Greece, Cyprus, Israel in the summer of 2019, in the three countries, and a trilateral meeting of Diaspora Leaders at the end of February in Israel. In addition, we are adding one more synergy in Canada this coming June, where all three countries have significant Diaspora Organisations. With the cooperation of Mr. Herzog, we are looking forward to becoming part of a new, very dynamic synergy between the three countries where, on a more general level, Greece, Cyprus and Israel are working very decisively to become pillars of stability in the region” he said, and referred, as an example, to the sectors of energy and the environment. “We hope, with the assistance of our nationals abroad, to be able to contribute to the general cooperation between our three countries.” Finally, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs revealed that he has proposed to his two counterparts to cooperate, with the assistance of young nationals studying abroad in the “IT” field , on tackling fake news, the “dark side of the internet” as he described it, saying: “We could, in the context of a two-day workshop in Greece, with University support from the Department of Information Technology, focus on the specific topic of Fake News, seeking filters to filter out this toxic element from our daily lives. We can deal also with the other plague, that of hackers, as well as with every type of pornography which leads to so many consequences, even death: suicide, murder etc.” Mr. Quick added.
