Partnership with Cyrpus

State Partnership Program signing ceremonies were held between the State of New Jersey and the Republic of Cyprus at the Republic of Cyprus Presidential Palace, Nicosia, March 30, 2023, and at the National Guard Training Center, Sea Girt, New Jersey, July 21, 2023. With these ceremonies and a series of engagements thereafter, NJNG and the Republic of Cyprus National Guard formalized their state partnership and commenced sharing expertise to strengthen capabilities and unite in mutual efforts for a safe, secure, and prosperous Eastern Mediterranean region.

The State Partnership Program, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023, is a Department of State and Department of Defense joint security cooperation program administered by the National Guard Bureau that links a state's National Guard with the armed forces of a partner country in order to build long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with U.S. partners around the world.
