Canadian bilateral political relations with Cyprus stemmed initially from Cypriot Commonwealth membership at independence in 1960 (that had followed a guerrilla struggle with Britain). These relations quickly expanded in 1964 when Canada became a major troop contributor to UNFICYP. The participation lasted for the next 29 years, during which 50,000 Canadian soldiers served and 28 were killed. In large measure Canadian relations with Cyprus continue to revolve around support for the ongoing efforts of the United Nations, G8 and others to resolve the Island's divided status. Contacts with Cyprus on other issues also take place in international organizations such as the UN, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Famous quotes containing the words rest of, rest and/or world:

    “Thinking about the universe has now been handed over to specialists. The rest of us merely read about it.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “By all means use sometimes to be alone.
    Salute thyself: see what thy soul doth wear.
    Dare to look in thy chest; for ‘tis thine own:
    And tumble up and down what thou find’st there.
    Who cannot rest till he good fellows find,
    He breaks up house, turns out of doors his mind.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
