Cyprus–Yugoslavia relations were historical foreign relations between Cyprus and now split-up Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Together with Malta, both countries belonged to the small group of European and Mediterranean member states of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War, group which itself part of the larger group of neutral and non-aligned European countries. Two countries shared similar or identical views on many international issues and cooperated closely in the United Nations and at various gatherings of the non-aligned countries.[1] Makarios III participated in the 1961 Summit Conference of Heads of State or Government of the Non-Aligned Movement in Belgrade which was the first official conference of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The agreement establishing diplomatic relations between the Republic of Cyprus and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was signed on 10 July 1960.[2] Formal trade between two sides started already during the British Cyprus with Yugoslav export starting in 1945 and Cypriot in 1948.[3] Two countries signed formal trade and economic cooperation agreement in 1962.[3] In 1963 Yugoslavia export amounted for 378 million Yugoslav dinar while import from Cyprus was 90 million dinar.[3] In addition, Cyprus tours were among popular options provided by the Yugoslav tourist agencies.[4]
On August 9, 1964 the Government of Yugoslavia expressed its “greatest concern” over the Cypriot intercommunal violence and underlined that "nothing can justify outside aggression as a method for settling an internal Cypriote problem".[5]
