Greece and Cyprus to sign digital interoperability protocol

On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the Hellenic Parliament is scheduled to ratify a protocol amending the Memorandum of Cooperation on digital transformation between Greece and Cyprus. This agreement involves the Greek Ministry of Digital Governance and the Cypriot Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, focusing on enhancing the interoperability of the 'Gov.gr Wallet' and 'Gov.cy Digital Citizen' applications.

The amendment aims to foster the exchange of technical expertise to enable seamless digital services for citizens traveling or residing in both nations. Key provisions include the mutual recognition of digital documents, the use of these platforms for cross-border citizen identification, and the simplification of administrative transactions with state services. These measures are specifically designed to benefit students, business professionals, and laborers who frequently move between the two countries.

This development builds upon existing cooperation between the two states, further integrating their digital infrastructures. Following the ratification by the Hellenic Parliament, the initiative is expected to streamline government-to-citizen interactions and solidify the digital link between the two countries.
