During the meeting, youth issues were discussed focusing on the role played by the youth of Cyprus and the Cyprus Youth Council in the process of maintaining peace and security in our country. We also informed our guest about the bi-communal actions of the Cyprus Youth Council, as well as the goal of engaging young people of Cyprus from all communities in policy making.

 It is very important to note that in the context of our discussion, the issue of promoting the UN resolution “UNSCR 2535 – Youth4Peace” was raised, both at the national and European level and how the UN can help promote this resolution in Cyprus.
