From:Shanghai Foreign Affairs  |  2017-11-23 10:22

Chen Qun, vice-mayor of Shanghai, met with Phedonas Phedonos, mayor of Paphos, Cyprus, and the delegation he headed.

Chen Qun said Shanghai has steadily expanded its international exchange and cooperation in recent years. It received nine million overseas visitors last year and the numbers of outbound tourists are also on the increase. Paphos is a historical town in Cyprus, with profound cultural traditions and rich tourism resources. He called for the two cities to strengthen exchange and cooperation in cultural, tourism and other areas.

Phedonas Phedonos told his host that Cyprus, advantageously located, is a communications hub linking Asia, Africa and Europe. Paphos, the fourth largest city of Cyprus, has the largest Chinese community in the country. A city friendly with China, Paphos offers preferential conditions in taxation and welcomes Shanghai enterprises to invest there.

The two sides also exchanged views on boosting cooperation and exchange in areas including sports and tourism.
