In addition, the country has signed the [[General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade]] (GATT) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency Agreement (MIGA). Cyprus has been a member of the [[European Union]] since 2004 and in the second half of 2012 it held the [[Presidency of the Council of the European Union]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cy2012.eu/en/page/home |title=Cyprus Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2012 |publisher=European Union |access-date=19 February 2015 |archive-date=18 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230118032331/http://www.cy2012.eu/en/page/home |url-status=dead }}</ref> ==Historical non-alignment== {{See also|Cyprus and the Non-Aligned Movement|Cyprus–NATO relations}} [[Cyprus]] has historically followed a [[Cyprus and the Non-Aligned Movement|non-aligned foreign policy]], although it increasingly identifies with the West in its cultural affinities and trade patterns, and maintains close relations with the [[European Union]], Greece, Armenia, Lebanon, Israel and the United States. [[File:Bundesarchiv B 145 Bild-F013050-0001, München, Staatsbesuch Präsident von Zypern.jpg|thumb|left|Cyprus former President [[Makarios III]] at a state visit in [[Munich]] with the German Chancellor in 1962]] The prime originator of Cypriot non-alignment was Archbishop of Cyprus [[Makarios III]], the first [[Presidents of Cyprus|President]] (1960–1977) of the independent republic of Cyprus. Prior to independence, Makarios - by virtue of his post as [[List of Archbishops of Cyprus|Archbishop of Cyprus]] and head of the [[Cypriot Orthodox Church]] - was the [[Greek Cypriot Ethnarch]], or ''de facto'' leader of the community. A highly influential figure well before independence, he participated in the 1955 [[Bandung Conference]]. After independence, Makarios took part in the [[1st Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement|1961 founding meeting]] of the [[Non-Aligned Movement]] in [[Belgrade]]. [[File:Kıbrıs Cumhuriyeti'nin diplomatik ilişkileri.png|thumb|right|350px|Cyprus representations abroad{{legend|#008000|resident embassy}} {{legend|#00ff00|non-resident embassy}} {{legend|#0000FF|diplomatic relations only, but no mission}}<br />{{legend|#ff0000|states that don't recognise the [[Republic of Cyprus]]}}]] Reasons for this neutrality may lie in the extreme pressures exerted on the infant Republic by its larger neighbours, Turkey and Greece. [[Cyprus dispute|Intercommunal rivalries]] and movements for [[enosis|union with Greece]] or partial union with Turkey may have persuaded Makarios to steer clear of close affiliation with either side. In any case Cyprus became a high-profile member of the Non-Aligned Movement and retained its membership until its entry into the [[European Union]] in 2004. At the non-governmental level, Cyprus has also been a member of the popular extension of the Non-Aligned Movement, the [[Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organisation]] hosting several high-level meetings. Immediately after the 1974 Greek-sponsored [[coup d'état]] and the [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus|Turkish invasion]], Makarios secured international recognition of his administration as the legitimate government of the whole island. This was disputed only by [[Turkey]], which currently recognizes only the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]], established in 1983. Since the 1974 crisis, the chief aim of the foreign policy of the Republic of Cyprus has been to secure the withdrawal of Turkish forces and the reunification of the island under the most favorable constitutional and territorial settlement possible. This campaign has been pursued primarily through international forums such as the [[United Nations]] and the [[Non-Aligned Movement]], and in recent years through the European Union. == Diplomatic relations == List of countries which Cyprus maintains diplomatic relations with: {| class="wikitable sortable" ! colspan="3" |[[File:Diplomatic_relations_of_Cyprus.svg|frameless|425x425px]] |- !# !Country !Date<ref>{{Cite web |title=Diplomatic relations between Cyprus and ... |url=https://digitallibrary.un.org/search?ln=en&as=1&m1=p&p1=Diplomatic%20relations%20between%20Cyprus%20and%20...&f1=series&op1=a&m2=a&p2=&f2=&op2=a&m3=a&p3=&f3=&dt=&d1d=&d1m=&d1y=&d2d=&d2m=&d2y=&rm=&ln=en&sf=year&so=a&rg=50&c=United%20Nations%20Digital%20Library%20System&of=hb&fti=0&fti=0 |access-date=12 November 2021 |website=United Nations Digital Library}}</ref> |- |1 |{{Flag|France}} |{{Dts|16 August 1960}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Gruel-Dieudé |first=Magali |title=Chypre et l'Union européenne: mutations diplomatiques et politiques |publisher=[[Harmattan]] |year=2007 |pages=91 |language=fr}}</ref> |- |2 |{{Flag|Greece}} |{{Dts|16 August 1960}}<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |last=Yitzhak Oron |url=https://www.google.com.ua/books/edition/Middle_East_Record_Volume_1_1960/0LooyExir7EC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Ambassadors+of+Greece+and+Turkey+and+representative+UK+presented+their+credentials+to+President+Makarios&pg=PA229&printsec=frontcover |title=Middle East Record Volume 1, 1960 Volume 1 |publisher=Published for The Israel Oriental Society, The Reuven Shiloah Research Center by George Weidenfeld & Nicolson Limited |pages=229}}</ref> |- style="background:#D3D3D3" |— |{{Flag|Turkey}} (suspended) |{{Dts|16 August 1960}}<ref name=":1" /> |- |3 |{{Flag|United Kingdom}} |{{Dts|16 August 1960}}<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite book|title=The Diplomatic Service List|author=Great Britain.

These relations quickly expanded in 1964 when Canada became a major troop contributor to [[UNFICYP]]. The participation lasted for the next 29 years, during which 50,000 Canadian soldiers served and 28 were killed. In large measure Canadian relations with Cyprus continue to revolve around support for the ongoing efforts of the [[United Nations]], [[G8]] and others to resolve the Island's divided status. Contacts with Cyprus on other issues also take place in international organizations such as the UN, the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]] and the [[Commonwealth of Nations]]. * Canada is accredited to Cyprus from its embassy in [[Athens]], [[Greece]] and an honorary consulate in Nicosia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/greece-grece/index.aspx?lang=eng|title=Embassy of Canada|access-date=2 May 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160510110232/http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/greece-grece/index.aspx?lang=eng|archive-date=2016-05-10|url-status=dead}}</ref> * Cyprus has a High Commission in [[Ottawa]] and an honorary consulate in [[Vancouver]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mfa.gov.cy/mfa/consulate/consulate_toronto.nsf/dmlindex_en/dmlindex_en?opendocument|title=CONSULATE OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS IN TORONTO - Welcome to our Website|access-date=2 May 2016|archive-date=21 June 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160621073147/http://www.mfa.gov.cy/mfa/consulate/consulate_toronto.nsf/dmlindex_en/dmlindex_en?OpenDocument|url-status=dead}}</ref> |--valign="top" |{{Flag|Colombia }}||25 January 1966 and 14 May 1970 | * Colombia is represented in Cyprus through its embassy in Rome, Italy. * Cyprus is represented in Colombia through its embassy in Mexico City, Mexico. * In 2010, both Ministers of Foreign Affairs signed a cooperation agreement regarding tourism and the war on drugs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cancilleria.gov.co/international/regions/europe/union/member/cyprus|title=- Cancillería|access-date=19 February 2015}}</ref> |--valign="top" |{{flag|Dominica}}||13 June 2001 |Both countries are members of the [[Commonwealth of Nations]].

Relations between the two countries continued to suffer when Cypriot first lady [[Antroulla Vasiliou]], the wife of the then President [[George Vasiliou]], was declared ''[[persona non grata]]'' in Israel when a delegation she was leading attempted to meet with [[Yasser Arafat]], who was under house arrest. Controversy and public outcry arose in the early 2000s, when members of the Cypriot branch of the [[Greek Orthodox Church]] were accused of selling church-owned land in the [[West Bank]] to Israeli developers, putting Cypriot commitment to the Palestinian cause at question. The expulsion of two alleged Israeli spies from the island in 1998 also caused tension between the two governments. The two countries now appear to be on improving terms, there has been coopertation on numerous areas but mostly on agriculture, military and tourism. The Cypriot government has also been reported to be making deals with both Israel and Egypt in exploring for oil off the southern Cyprus coast. Israeli foreign minister [[Avigdor Lieberman]] visited Cyprus at the invitation of his Cypriot counterpart when Netanyahu was in Washington for the direct talks with the Palestinian leader. Lieberman and Cypriot foreign minister Kyprianou have met several times this year in an effort to strengthen relations between their countries. * Cyprus has an embassy in [[Tel Aviv]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mfa.gov.cy/mfa/embassies/embassy_telaviv.nsf/DMLindex_en/DMLindex_en?opendocument|title=Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Tel Aviv - Welcome to our Web Site|access-date=2 May 2016}}</ref> * Israel has an embassy in Nicosia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://embassies.gov.il/nicosia-en/Pages/defult.aspx|title=Error-2010-f3|access-date=2 May 2016|archive-date=9 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140909040054/http://embassies.gov.il/nicosia-en/Pages/defult.aspx|url-status=dead}}</ref> * Both countries are members of the [[Union for the Mediterranean]]. * [https://web.archive.org/web/20110916164220/http://www.mfa.gov.cy/mfa/mfa2006.nsf/All/57953C07CB3EEF24C22571E1002615EE/$file/Israel.pdf?OpenElement Cyprus Foreign Affairs: List of bilateral treaties with Israel] |--valign="top" |{{Flag|Japan}}||11 May 1962 | * Cypriot president [[Makarios III|Makarios]] made a state visit to Japan in 1970.

The attempted coup in July 1974—engineered by Greek Military Junta—was responded to by Turkey by a full military invasion, which resulted in the northern third of the island being occupied by Turkish military forces. This portion of Cyprus unilaterally declared independence in November 1983 as the [[Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus]] (TRNC), which only Turkey recognizes. Turkey refers to the Republic of Cyprus government as the "Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus".<ref>{{cite web |title=Greek Administration of Southern Cyprus |url=https://www.ab.gov.tr/greek-administration-of-southern-cyprus_255_en.html |website=www.ab.gov.tr |publisher=[[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Turkey)|Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Foreign Affairs]] - Directorate for EU Affairs |access-date=4 October 2024 |date=15 November 2022}}</ref> Cyprus takes the view that the TRNC government is a puppet administration, and thus prefers to negotiate with Turkey over the resolution of the Cyprus Problem. Turkey insists that the TRNC government is the institution that the RoC government must refer to in negotiations. Cyprus' accession to the European Union has had a negative impact on Turkey in regards to its own accession negotiations. The refusal of Turkey to allow Cypriot-flagged ships to access Turkish ports has resulted in a partial suspension of its accession negotiations. * Cyprus opposes [[Accession of Turkey to the European Union|Turkey's EU membership]]. |--valign="top" |{{Flag|United Arab Emirates }}||12 April 1978 and 6 June 2007 |See [[Cyprus–United Arab Emirates relations]] * Cyprus has an embassy in [[Abu Dhabi]] * United Arab Emirates has an embassy in [[Nicosia]] |--valign="top" |{{Flag|Vietnam}}||29 November 1975||Cyprus is represented in Vietnam through its embassy in [[New Delhi]], [[India]].
