Cork, Ireland, the country's second largest city, is located on the south coast and is known as the "Capital of the South". As a major economic center, Cork is known for its manufacturing, technology and biomedical industries, and has attracted many multinational companies. The city is both historic and modern, with historical landmarks such as St. Fin Barre's Cathedral and the Inglaterra Library, as well as the annual Cork Film Festival adding to its cultural appeal. The University of Cork and other educational resources are abundant and interact well with local industry. With the convenience of the Port of Cork and its beautiful natural environment surrounded by green spaces, Cork is the ideal gateway to explore the South West of Ireland, offering a unique blend of urban prosperity and natural tranquillity.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
