With the creation of the Registry of Cyprus Diaspora, we will have the opportunity to get to know, among others, prominent Cypriot scientists, academics, businessmen and professionals who excel abroad. In addition, the Registry of Cyprus Diaspora will be a useful tool with multiple benefits for our federations and organisations, as it will enable them to act in a more targeted way. Besides that, actions such as the annual World Conference of Overseas Cypriots that takes place in Cyprus, the bimonthly issue of an electronic newslettter with headlines from Cyprus and the actions of the Office of the Presidential Commissioner, the launch of cooperation between networks of doctors established for Cypriot citizens abroad, such as Greece and the United Kingdom, are undoubtedly steps towards the right direction and should therefore be continued and expanded.
