The government on Tuesday hit back at opposition party Akel after the latter pilloried President Nikos Christodoulides for his upcoming trip to Israel.
Government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis effectively criticised Akel for lacking savvy when it comes to diplomatic relations.
“ The Republic of Cyprus exercises a multi-faceted, responsible and balanced foreign policy , guided solely by the desire to uphold its national interests and enhance its international presence,” he said.
