Australia is known for its powerful diplomacy and has built strong alliances over the last 50+ years. We have changes in Government, but our national interests, diplomacy and Foreign Affairs are static and stable. Can you say the same about Cyprus? Confused
Yes we can say the same thing . Cyprus might be small but do not underestimate the location of the island . closed proximity to 3 huge regions Africa , Middle East , Europe and Russia. It can play an effective role in the region once a settlement is reached. In 1 hour flight you can travel in 3 regions this is a key advantage for any business and service.
A settlement might not be perfect but no country has a perfect democracy Coruption is everywhere. And BTW many african countries are functioning under a unitary state and 1 man and 1 vote and this does not mean they have democracy. Anyone need to be realist.
