BRUSSELS, March 16 (Reuters) - All EU informal councils will be held as planned in Cyprus between ‌April and June, Cyprus Energy Minister Michael Damianos said on Monday.

Cyprus, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, moved all March ⁠meetings online or postponed them after a drone strike on a British air base amid the Iran crisis earlier this month. Cypriot officials said the attack was carried out by an Iranian‑made Shahed ‌drone, ⁠likely launched by Iran‑backed Hezbollah from Lebanon.

“Things are all back to normal. All business, including your business resumes ⁠and all informal councils to be held in Cyprus between April and June ⁠will be held in the normal way”, Damianos said ahead ⁠of a European foreign affairs meeting in Brussels.
