Anastasiades recalled his own travels to Israel in 2013, where hydrocarbon agreements were ratified, further solidifying their relationship.

Anastasiades concluded his remarks with, "During the extensive meetings with officials of the Israeli government, including the Prime Minister, whom we expect to welcome in our country soon, we came to the conclusion that Cyprus and Israel share a common vision: To effectively and strategically upgrade our relations in all possible fields, for mutual benefit. Personally, I will spare no effort and I will provide any necessary assistance to achieve this goal".
