Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday held bilateral talks with Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades and appreciated Cyprus's support for India's bid for the UN Security Council.
"I deeply appreciate Cyprus's support for India's bid for the UN Security Council," Modi said after holding bilateral talks with Anastasiades.
"We held detailed discussions on bilateral as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest," Modi said, adding, "We agreed there is urgent need for countries to act against those states that generate support, shelter factories of violence in our regions."

He also paid homage to Mahatma Gandhi whom he described as an 'inspiration' for Cyprus’ freedom struggle.
