Diplomatic relations between Georgia and Cyprus were established in 1992. The Embassy of Georgia in Nicosia was opened in 2005.

The ties between Georgia and Cyprus go back to prehistoric era we share the same cultural, spiritual and intellectual values.

Cyprus' geographical location, its proximity to scientific and religious centers of the ancient world, have been attracting Georgians from times immemorial. It is no accident that one of the most important Georgian cultural centers of the Medieval Age was founded in Cyprus, in the village of Yialia, and continued functioning for centuries.

Both Georgia and Cyprus are ancient members of the European family our aspiration towards Euro-Atlantic integration has to be considered as a return to the value system to which we naturally belong and from which Georgia was forcibly separated for a long period of time.

Besides the history and culture, Georgia and Cyprus are united in the face of modern global challenges. It is our utmost desire to solve these challenges based on universal principles of justice. Georgia and Cyprus, as responsible members of the global community, have to maintain close partnership to help overcome global problems and achieve long-term peace and economic prosperity.
