A US Air Force emergency response assessment team will visit Cyprus this week to consult on infrastructure projects at the Andreas Papandreou air base, government spokesman Constantinos Letymbiotis said on Tuesday.
The team from the 435th Air Ground Operations Wing, based in Germany, will evaluate operations at the Paphos facility to enhance interoperability between Cyprus and its US and allied partners, Letymbiotis said.
The assessment will cover areas including airport operations, logistics, and communications capabilities, supporting the modernisation and upgrade of Cyprus’s defence capabilities, he said.
“Deepening military cooperation with allied forces plays a decisive role in maintaining peace and stability in the region,” Letymbiotis said. “The upgrade of infrastructure, procurement of modern equipment and investment in human resource training are key pillars of our national strategy for effective and flexible defence.”
The spokesman made the comments during a regular media briefing.
