US official Rob Law visits Cyprus for bilateral talks

On July 13, 2026, the Deputy Minister to the President of Cyprus, Irene Piki, is scheduled to meet with the United States Assistant Secretary for Strategy, Policy, and Plans at the Department of Homeland Security, Rob Law. The meeting is part of a regional tour conducted by the American delegation. The discussions will cover strategic cooperation on issues such as counter-terrorism, border security, and immigration. A central topic on the agenda is Cyprus's potential entry into the United States Visa Waiver Program. Government sources indicate that while Cyprus is technically prepared for the program, the final decision remains with the U.S. government, with no definitive timeline currently established. Additionally, the U.S. delegation is set to hold separate meetings with the Cypriot Deputy Minister of Migration to discuss matters within his specific jurisdiction.
