Video PlayerClose NICOSIA, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- A joint naval exercise with the participation of naval units from Cyprus, France and Italy is under way in the eastern Mediterranean, Cypriot Defense Minister Savvas Angelides said on Thursday. This is the first time Cyprus holds joint drills with France and Italy, two countries with interests in the Cypriot exclusive economic zone, which is disputed by Turkey.
