He underlined the importance of cooperation between the Turkish Cypriot people and the international community, particularly Turkey, in addressing the challenges and opportunities facing the region.
Moreover, President Tatar highlighted the importance of developing neighborly relations with all parties involved, focusing on mutual benefits and cooperation in various areas such as energy, cultural heritage protection, and disaster management. He stressed the need for collaboration on shared issues, even before a final solution is achieved, to enhance the well-being of both communities.
In addition, President Tatar expressed his commitment to expanding voting rights for citizens without residency requirements, demonstrating his dedication to inclusivity and equal representation in the political process. He also highlighted the progress made in strengthening relations with Turkey, particularly in tourism, education, and cultural exchange.
As President Tatar looks ahead to the future, he remains resolute in his efforts to serve the Turkish Cypriot people and advance their interests on the global stage. Through dialogue, cooperation, and a steadfast commitment to their rights and sovereignty, he aims to secure a brighter future for the people of Northern Cyprus.
