Rodos Island Conference Historical Overview

Events held in Rhodes Island start from from the 1948 meeting to establish the State of Israel, the 1958 meeting of General Costas Grivas and Archbishop Makarios, followed by the Cyprus Declaration of Independence, the meeting of the then Greek Prime Minister Constantine Karamanlis and Marshal Tito, the same year, to settle problems between their two countries, to more recent events, such as the 1988 Summit of EU Prime Ministers, the World Convention of Conservative Democratic Parties and the 1 st World Conference on Tourism, Employment & Development, held the same year.
