Nicosia: Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides visited Egypt and Jordan on Tuesday to promote his initiative for the establishment of a maritime corridor to get aid from Cyprus to Gaza, according to a written statement issued by the president’s office here.

It said that Christodoulides held talks with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi in Cairo before flying to Amman for consultations with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

The statement added that Christodoulides reiterated Cyprus’s readiness to establish a corridor for the sustained transfer of aid to Gaza and also to work with other countries for the restoration of peace in the region.
