Issues pertaining to the development of mountainous areas, especially in the district of Limassol, were discussed during a recent visit to the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry by the Commissioner for the Development of Mountain Communities, Costas Hambiaouris.

In a meeting with the Chamber President, Andreas Tsouloftas, Mr. Hambiaouris outlined the mission of his office, which is directly accountable to the President of the Republic, and also referred to actions already taken with the aim of upgrading, at various levels, the mountainous areas, which would, among others, reflect positively on the objective creating job opportunities and averting urbanization. He also noted the readiness of his office for close cooperation with the Chamber, given the fact that the latter is essentially a body keen on the economic development of the entire Limassol district.

For his part, Mr. Tsouloftas referred to the steadfast interest of the Chamber in the development needs of the district, something that is underlined, among other things, by the participation of the Chamber, indeed from the position of Vice President, at the Limassol Development Company (ANELEM). He noted, moreover, that the Chamber remains at the disposal of the Commissioner, among other things for the promotion communication-wise of the multiple projects developed by his office, including through the columns of Entrepreneurial Limassol, the Chamber’s monthly electronic newsletter.
