China donates €10,000 to CMP

China donated €10,000 to the Committee on Missing Persons (CMP) on Tuesday, after the Chinese ambassador to Cyprus Huang Xingyuan paid a visit to the CMP laboratory.

Xingyuan underlined the support of China to the CMP’s humanitarian efforts and discussed possible areas of cooperation with CMP members, an announcement issued by the committee said.

This contribution to the CMP project on the exhumation, identification and return of the remains of missing persons in Cyprus will support the committee’s goal of identifying and returning as many remains of missing individuals as possible to bring an end to the uncertainty which has affected so many families for so many years, it added.

So far, 927 missing persons from both communities have been identified and returned to their families for dignified burials.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
