Speaking to the students, President Christodoulides pointed out that “Cyprus is among the EU countries with the highest percentages of high school and technical school graduates who decide to pursue university studies. And of course, we want these people to return to work in Cyprus. We don’t want them to stay abroad—we need Cypriot talent. Our country’s greatest strength is its human capital, and we’re making a major effort to bring back as many Cypriots as possible from abroad, offering incentives to attract more Cypriots to return. And I’m glad that we have quite a few Cypriots returning.”
