Today in Houston, I met with Chevron CEO Mike Wirth and President of International Exploration and Production Clay Neff. We discussed energy developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, focusing on the Aphrodite field and its strategic importance for Cyprus. I was informed that seabed survey for the installation of a pipeline connecting the Aphrodite field with the Egyptian landing point are set to commence in early summer, in line with the established timetable. We also discussed the procedures that Chevron is advancing, following our approval of the Development and Production Plan, as well as the forthcoming Host Government Agreement with Egypt, pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding signed in February. I underlined the importance of timely implementation of the Development and Production Plan, as the exploitation of Aphrodite is a national priority, and also crucial for regional energy security and the EU’s supply diversification. Chevron’s continued presence in our EEZ adds momentum to our energy strategy, and their global expertise strengthens our efforts. Their leadership reaffirmed their commitment to close cooperation with the Republic of Cyprus. I also had the opportunity to tour Chevron’s headquarters and observe their infrastructure, which supports major operations and innovation, 🇺🇸🇨🇾

President Nikos Christodoulides held a meeting with the founder and chief investment officers of Senvest Richard Mashaal and Brian Gonick. Senvest's presence in 🇨🇾, with a broad portfolio of activities and long experience in global markets, reflects its confidence in the resilience and prospects of the Cypriot banking system, as well as in the broader business environment in Cyprus. The #Senvest leaders acknowledged the positive steps forward in the Cyprus economy, through a steady upward trajectory, which are helping to create favourable conditions for attracting quality investment. During the discussion, President Christodoulides reaffirmed our commitment to maintaining strong compliance mechanisms in terms of preventing and combating money laundering, as well as implementing international sanctions. Adherence to these high standards of transparency and security further enhances Cyprus' reputation as a trustworthy financial centre. In addition, the possibility of expanding Senvest's investment activities to other sectors of the Cypriot economy was discussed. The variety and dynamism of investment opportunities in our country offer fertile ground for growth and further enhance the image of Cyprus as an attractive destination for long-term investments.

Another excellent meeting with His Excellency President Nikos Christodoulides of Cyprus to progress ExxonMobil’s Upstream investments. 🇨🇾 🇺🇸

President Nikos Christodoulides as part of his contacts in the United States, had a meeting with #NVIDIA's Global Vice President of Sales and Business Development for HPC/Supercomputing, Mr.  John Josephakis. #NVIDIA, is today one of the world's leading companies in its field with its contribution to the development and operation of AI and Data Center systems being catalytic. The discussion focused on the prospect of advanced cutting-edge technologies and the strengthening of Cyprus' presence in the field of innovation and technology in the Eastern Mediterranean. The interaction with leading figures in the global tech ecosystem, such as John Josephakis is part of the promotion of the Government's strategy to strengthen its international presence and build strong alliances in the field of technology transition and innovation.  The President of the Republic expressed his appreciation for the career and contribution of Mr. Josephakis, a distinguished Cypriot in the Diaspora, and agreed to maintain channels of communication to further explore opportunities for cooperation that will enhance Cyprus' path towards the realization of its development goal of technological upgrading.

It was an honor to meet with the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, on Friday in New York City. We were able to spend some time together both in a group setting and one on one. The President’s insights on the growing economy in Cyprus, their infrastructure for various industries, the exciting business landscape, and the country’s continued collaboration with Wall Street left me excited about the future. As we continue evaluate opportunities both in and outside of North America, I look forward to visiting his country over the next few months and meeting the rest of the team. Who wants to join me??? 

I feel privileged and honored to be the first President of the Republic of Cyprus to visit the great state of Texas. Here, at one of the largest world economies - that is quite remarkable. Cyprus has a special connection to Texas - beyond the greatest one which is all of you - and that is the presence oof Exxon Mobil and Chevron in Cyprus’ Exclusive Economic Zone, 🇨🇾🇺🇸
