CYPRUS-BRITAIN-DIPLOMACY-DEFENCE-NAVY

This picture taken on July 1, 2021 shows a view of (R, 2nd-R) Royal Navy and (L) US Marine Corps F-35B Lightning multirole combat aircraft parked aboard the deck of the Royal Navy's HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier while moored in the new port of Cyprus' southern city of Limassol. - HMS Queen Elizabeth, the largest warship ever built for the Royal Navy, docks at Cyprus' Limassol Port to undertake a wide-ranging programme of activity and engagement, including "dealing with the last remnants of the Daesh (IS) terrorist group in Iraq". Apart from its mission, the aircraft carrier's presence sends a "very strong signal" that strengthens the relationship between the UK and the Mediterranean island, according to the British High Commissioner to Cyprus Stephen Lillie.
