It seeks to enhance trade relations with the EU and support integration into the Union, thereby also contributing to the comprehensive settlement efforts. As the designated institutional partner of the European Commission, the KTTO continues being pivotal in facilitating trade across the divide on the island. The Chamber is dedicated to enhancing the EU’s engagement in implementing private sector and energy related policies and projects within the Turkish Cypriot community, in accordance with the goals of the EU Green Deal.
