[01] Restoration work progressing satisfactory at Paphos Hamam
Restoration work underway at the Paphos Hamam is progressing satisfactory,
according to the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage which visited
the site last week with representatives of the Greek Cypriot and Turkish
Cypriot sides.
A press release from UNDP - Partnership for the Future (UNDP-PFF)
said that on 9 October, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage,
together with representatives of the United Nations Development Programme
Partnership for the Future (UNDP-PFF), visited the Paphos Hamam, where
European Union funded emergency measures are currently being implemented.
The Hamam, also known as the Medieval Turkish Bath, was part of a larger
complex built during the Medieval period and later modified and expanded
during the Ottoman period. Today it presents the typical arrangement of
an Ottoman bath-house comprising a disrobing room, a warm room, and a
hot room.
[02] CIPA intensifies action to promote Cyprus
The Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency (CIPA) has intensified its targeted
actions aimed at restoring Cyprus' image as a reliable destination for
foreign investment. Towards that direction, CIPA's representatives have
recently traveled to Britain, Ukraine and India.
According to a press release issued by CIPA, the Director General Charis
Papacharalambous has recently visited London, where he had a series of
contacts. Among others, Papacharalambous gave an interview to Glude TV,
which is preparing a promotional short film on real estate in Europe,
including Cyprus, which will be broadcast in cinemas in Asia.
Papacharalambous also met Andrew Frazer, former CEO of the Agency "Invest
in Britain", and the President of the consulting firm FTI, who works
with CIPA on issues related with the overall image of Cyprus abroad. He
even had a meeting with the executives of the British Venture Capital
Association, discussing a possible cooperation with the Association.
