I was grateful for the opportunity to discuss the cooperation and coordination of the UK with the Republic of Cyprus in keeping Cyprus, active British personnel, their families and British nationals safe. I was also pleased to receive confirmation that RAF Akrotiri is not being used for any defensive action and the US is not operating from Akrotiri.
I would like to offer reassurance to my constituents that the Government has taken all necessary measures to protect the security of Cyprus.
Following the deeply concerning drone attack on RAF Akrotiri, I asked the Prime Minister to share with me what steps the UK is taking to ensure the safety of the island of #Cyprus.@Keir_Starmer confirmed to me that he is in contact with the President of Cyprus.
