Despite our preoccupation with our jobs, families and the societies in which we live, our commitment to achieve a free and united Cyprus has always been steadfast. For decades, the initiatives, the events, the conferences, the demonstrations, the meetings with various politicians at the decision-making centres of the United Kingdom, America, the European Union and beyond, have been organised almost entirely by volunteers who have dedicated their personal time and financial resources. We must reflect on how we can transform the activities of POMAK, PSEKA and our member federations so that they become even more professional and, crucially, more sustainable, in order to create the foundations on which the next generations of our Diaspora can continue the tireless work that has been preceded by our expatriates. I hope that the revised National Strategy on Cyprus Diaspora will be the starting point of this collective effort, to bring our compatriots in Cyprus even closer to the Cypriots overseas and to pass on the love we have for our great island to the future generations that will be called to take the baton to continue this struggle.
