Acknowledging the increasing alignment of their values, interests, international outlook, and vision, both sides expressed their determination to further advance this partnership across key sectors. Cyprus and India are committed to deepening their cooperation as trusted and indispensable partners contributing to regional and global peace, prosperity, and stability.

The two leaders recognised people-to-people ties as a strategic asset and multiplier for deepening economic and cultural ties. The two sides agreed to work to finalise a Mobility Pilot Program Arrangement by the end of 2025.
