The House speakers of Cyprus, Egypt, and Greece are scheduled to meet in Nicosia on Wednesday, November 11, to formalize a joint commitment to regional stability. This event marks the second trilateral gathering of the legislative bodies from these three nations, aimed at fostering peace across the Levant and the Eastern Mediterranean.

Hosted by Cyprus House Speaker Annita Demetriou, the meeting will include her counterparts Hesham Badawy of Egypt and Nikitas Kaklamanis of Greece. The agenda focuses on the role of parliamentary diplomacy in building regional stability. Additionally, the discussions will examine energy as a critical driver for cooperation and explore strategies to strengthen formal inter-parliamentary ties.
