Norway is proud to be among the donors to this project and is committed to supporting promising inter-communal initiatives also in the future, Foreign Minister Støre said in his message to the project.
H4C – the Home for Cooperation in Nicosia – is now a reality. A couple of years ago it was just an idea.
I would like to congratulate the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR) on this result of its long-term commitment to creating a shared space – an inter-communal and multi-functional educational meeting place open to the broad public, with the shared vision of cooperation across the divide.
I strongly believe that without dialogue we cannot deal with the complexity of our common challenges, neither in Cyprus, nor in Europe or in the world of today.
I therefore commend AHDR for its achievements so far, and wish it all the best in its endeavours to strengthen mutual trust and island-wide cooperation. I am confident that H4C will prove to be a valuable asset in these efforts.
Norway is proud to be among the donors to this project and is committed to supporting promising inter-communal initiatives also in the future.
