The Cypriot National Guard is participating in a joint exercise with the US navy special forces from Saturday until September 20.

The announcement was made ahead of a visit later on Saturday by US secretary of State Mike Pompeo who will be in Nicosia in the evening.

The defence ministry announced that the exercises come under bilateral relations between Cyprus and the US and concern, in particular, cooperation on logistics and navigation issues.

Pompeo will meet President Nicos Anastasiades and Foreign Minister Nicos Christodoulides Saturday night. The agenda of the talks will include Turkish provocations in the Eastern Mediterranean, the enhancement of Cyprus-US relations and the Cyprus problem. Nicosia describes the visit as significant, taking into account broader ongoing developments in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Pompeo will come to Cyprus after his visit to Doha. In statements to the media aboard his plane on his way to Qatar, Pompeo said that he would be visiting Cyprus to seek a peaceful solution to mounting Mediterranean tensions, and called on Turkey to pull back its forces.

The dispute “has to be resolved in a way that`s diplomatic and peaceful,” Pompeo told reporters. “So, I’ll be working on that project as well, trying to make sure that I understand the risks that are associated from the people of Cyprus’ perspective,” he said.

Pompeo expressed hope that “there will be real conversations” and that “the military assets that are there will be withdrawn so that these conversations can take place.”

Anastasiades and Pompeo are expected to make statements to the media after their talks.

Pompeo was initially scheduled to visit Cyprus in January in the context of a wider tour in the region, but his visit was postponed due to the crisis with Iran following the attack against the US embassy in Baghdad.

Nicosia was informed of Pompeo’s intention to visit the island on Thursday night during a phone conversation between Christodoulides and US Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, Phillip Reeker. Christodoulides responded expressing Cyprus’s readiness to host the US foreign policy chief.
