NICOSIA, June 11 (Xinhua) -- Cyprus' President Nikos Christodoulides cut short his visit to Jordan on Tuesday, where he was attending an international conference on Gaza, as uncontrolled wildfires rage in the western Paphos district.
The semi-governmental Cyprus News Agency (CNA) reported that Christodoulides's request for assistance from King Abdullah II of Jordan was met by Jordan's deployment of an unspecified number of aircraft, including two Jordanian helicopters, which are already aiding in the firefighting effort.
