A series of concrete actions to develop a close cooperation between Paphos and Shanghai were discussed today by City Mayor Phaedon Phaidon and Executive Vice Mayor of Chinese Town Chen Yin.

At a meeting in the morning during a formal visit of a 5-member Shanghai delegation to Paphos, Mr. Fidonos and Yin discussed, among other things, the prospect of joint actions in the field of digital and smart city, as both Paphos and Shanghai have set this immediate goal as their immediate priority and are already working towards it.

Issues related to the prospect of creating a regional exhibition space for Chinese companies and organizations in Paphos, issues related to the development of innovation and education through mutual cooperation and support, as well as the expansion of relations between the two cities.

In his statements after the meeting, Paphos Mayor Phaedonas Phaidonos noted that Paphos and Shanghai are now moving from theory to practice for mutual benefit and pointed out that the aim for Pafos Municipality is to highlight the strategic position of both Cyprus and Cyprus. we showcase our advantages and exploit them accordingly.

Did Mr. Yin (I doubt that's his family name, as it seems to be his last one) really think Paphos was the equal of Shanghai?

Devil you are right. Having lived in Hong Kong for a number of years, I know that in contrast to many other countries of the Western world who adopt Christian name first, Family name after, the Chinese do it the other way round. The mans name is Mr Chen (a fairly common Chinese surname) his family and friends would call him Yin....

Does it matter if the name of the Deputy Mayor of Shanghai is Kim, Chen, Yin or whatever.... What is important that they came to Paphos to sign contracts with our Mayor and (for me more interesting with our Deputy Mayor Christos Makarious, owner of Green Air Paphos, which could be our future Mayor of Paphos if Phedonas steps down...)
