The president of the Cyprus Chamber of Shipping Themis Papadopoulos has underscored the importance of continuous and close collaboration between the government and the chamber for further sustainable development of the shipping industry.

Papadopoulos addressed attendees at an official dinner commemorating the 35th anniversary of the chamber’s establishment on January 26, 1989.

The event was attended by the president of the Republic of Cyprus, the House Speaker, ministers, members of parliament, diplomats, state officials, and dignitaries.

In a statement, the chamber provided an overview of Papadopoulos’s review of the successful journey of the chamber, expressing gratitude to successive governments, political parties, collaborators, and members of the chamber for their enduring support.

He also highlighted the challenges facing the shipping industry today, emphasising the significance of the continuous and close collaboration between the state and the chamber to promote policies that will allow for further sustainable growth of the maritime sector and, by extension, the Cypriot economy and society.

Finally, as part of its social responsibility and the significant philanthropic work carried out by the maritime industry in Cyprus, the chamber made a donation of €17,000 to the charitable association “One Dream – One Wish”.
