The luncheon was held as a gesture of friendship and mutual respect, reflecting the long-standing and warm relationship between the Cyprus Olympians Association and the Embassy of Japan in Cyprus.

The Cyprus Olympians Association was represented by its President, Mr. Costas Papacostas, Vice President Mr. Andros Karapatakis, as well as Board Members Mr. Spyros Agrotis and Mr. Charalambos Panayides.
