A huge thank you to @IEAmbCyprus for hosting young leaders from our #PEACEPLUS #Journeys project this week during their transformational study visit to Cyprus. The group met with their peers to share learning & explore peacebuilding through an international lens 🕊️ @SEUPB

@IEAmbCyprus @Christodulides Congratulations Sarah. A fantastic appointment, looking forward to linking in with you during our peacebuilding visits!

Today I presented my credentials to H.E. President @Christodulides, officially assuming my duties as Ambassador of Ireland to Cyprus. 🇮🇪 & 🇨🇾 share a longstanding partnership and I look forward to reinforcing our ties as both countries prepare to hold the 🇪🇺 presidency in 2026.
