NICOSIA, 29th May, 2025 (WAM) -- As part of the strong bilateral ties between the UAE and Cyprus, a ship carrying water desalination plants has arrived at Limassol Port to provide clean drinking water and support sustainable global water security.

The shipment includes 14 desalination units based on Reverse Osmosis technology, with a production capacity of up to 15,000 cubic metres per day (3.3 million gallons daily), converting seawater into potable water.

The UAE will also provide technical assistance by training engineers and workers on the installation and operation of the plants, thereby enhancing Cyprus's capacity to address water-related challenges.

Sultan Al Shamsi, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Development and International Organisations and Vice Chairman of the UAE Aid Agency, said, "This initiative demonstrates the robust relations between the UAE and Cyprus, and reflects the UAE's commitment to enhancing international cooperation in the field of water security while providing innovative solutions to global water-related challenges."

He reaffirmed the UAE's commitment to addressing the issue of water scarcity, highlighting the UAE's launch of the 'Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative' and the country's upcoming role as co-host of the 2026 UN Water Conference, alongside Senegal.

Al Shamsi emphasised the importance of these endeavours in advancing the implementation of global pledges aimed at achieving Sustainable Development Goal 6.
