"Mr President, may I welcome Mr Christofias to the Presidency and wish him every success. The Cyprus Presidency has started in the midst of huge political changes in the European Union. Following the decisions adopted by the Council in June, the economic, banking and political unification of Europe will need to be promoted during the Cyprus Presidency.
What you may not know, ladies and gentlemen, is that, although it is a small country, Cyprus is a race of rational, disciplined and courageous people. Having seen its neighbour Israel achieve energy independence by finding natural gas, Cyprus has entered into a bold and rational operational alliance with Israel, without disrupting its relations with the Arab world, with a view to making the island energy independent. This is a shining example for all of us, to see how the energy sector can be changed and used as a vehicle for peace and stability. As I stressed earlier, we should exploit the good relations which the Republic of Cyprus entertains with numerous countries in the third world, especially the Arab world.
Good luck, Mr President-in-Office."@en1
