About Us

• Commercial Counsellor Mr. George Partasides
• Assistant Commercial Counsellor: Mr. Fadi Al Shebli
•  Officer A’: Mrs Despo Chrysostomou           

From 1/8/2023 I am serving as the Commercial Counsellor of Cyprus in Dubai, and I am also acting as the IRENA focal point. I have a lot of experience in the field of energy and technology, and I am also a member of the Long-Term Strategy (LTS) team of IRENA and other internal responsibilities such as the Energy Planning and the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). Furthermore, I am supporting the Office of the Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Energy, Commerce, and Industry and simultaneously, I actively engage in several vital projects and studies aimed at advancing energy initiatives.

Our team is fortunate to have Mr. Fadi Al Shebli, who is an integral part of our team at the Cyprus Trade Center in Dubai. With an extensive career spanning over two decades, his wealth of experience has proven to be an invaluable asset. Mr. Al Shebli’s profound knowledge of the exhibitions industry, coupled with his exceptional multitasking skills, significantly bolsters our ability to support Cyprus companies. Furthermore, Mr. Al Shebli’s approachable and amiable personality has played a pivotal role in fostering successful relationships and partnerships.

Lastly, our team is strengthened by Despo Chrysostomou, an Officer A’ who is seconded from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Cyprus Trade Centre. Mrs. Chrysostomou brings over 15 years of experience from various ministries. Additionally, her academic expertise in Economics, Econometrics, and Public Administration, combined with her recent role in the General Secretariat of European Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, greatly enhances our collective knowledge and capabilities.

Together, we form a well-rounded and highly capable team ready to address the challenges and opportunities before us.
