Cyprus business challenges old divisions amid hopes of new crossing points

When Andreas G. Andreou and Emre Serdar founded their window and framing company in Cyprus in 2015, they had a mission: to challenge the island's divisions by operating the business on both sides of its historic ceasefire line.

The article from Reuters, published on May 13, 2025, discusses the ongoing efforts to foster economic cooperation and unity on the divided island of Cyprus. Despite the deep-seated divisions between the Greek Cypriot south and the Turkish Cypriot north, there is optimism about the potential opening of new crossing points by the end of 2025, which could enhance business interactions and economic integration. The article highlights the challenges faced by businesses operating across the divide, including bureaucratic hurdles and political tensions, but also notes the resilience and adaptability of local entrepreneurs. There is a particular focus on the potential for increased trade and tourism, with examples of successful cross-community business ventures serving as a beacon of hope for a more unified future.
