[01] Sustainable development in rural areas important, says Minister
The government, in spite of the country's economic problems, will not
neglect sustainable development in rural areas, Agriculture, Natural
Resources and the Environment Minister Nikos Kouyialis has said, adding
that the prosperity of the Cypriot farmer is also an important factor
in agricultural policy.
Speaking at a local summer festival in the village of Kalepia, in the
Paphos district, on the west, the Minister highlighted the need to
protect the countryside and strengthen socio-economic characteristics
of rural areas.
He welcomed initiatives by local councils to organise cultural events,
in an effort to revive the countryside, saying these promote cultural
heritage and local traditions and customs.
