A message from H.E. Emily Pugin, Australian High Commissioner to the Republic of Cyprus
It is a profound honour to serve as Australia’s High Commissioner to the Republic of Cyprus, a country with whom Australia shares the deepest and warmest of friendships.
Australia is proud to be home to the second largest overseas Cypriot community. The Cypriot diaspora has contributed immensely to Australia’s multicultural fabric. The connections between our people provide the foundation for a vibrant and multifaceted bilateral relationship.
The longstanding ties between Australia and the Republic of Cyprus are built on shared values and an enduring commitment to a world governed by rights and rules, where the sovereignty of every nation is respected.
Our shared values, including a commitment to inclusion, equality and human rights, underpin our relationship. As island nations with robust democracies, we prioritise, value and advocate for international law, stability, and open markets.
We share many common interests and cooperate closely to address shared global challenges – including climate change, environmental sustainability, economic cooperation, and upholding peace and security – including through multilateral institutions.
As a First Nations Australian, I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors. I will be a proud representative of Australia, and a steadfast friend to the Republic of Cyprus, and look forward with great confidence that together we will strengthen further the already deep bonds between our nations and people.
H.E. Emily Pugin, High Commissioner of Australia to the Republic of Cyprus
