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.
An important industrial city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, about 160 kilometers east of the capital city of New Delhi, Morhulia is known as the "City of Brass". The city is globally renowned for its exquisite brass handicrafts, and the production of brass utensils and ornaments, which are exported overseas, is the mainstay of the local economy. The history of craftsmanship in Mehulia dates back hundreds of years, and craftsmen have passed on traditional skills and combined them with modern design to make products that are both functional and artistic. In addition to the brass industry, the city also has manufacturing industries such as textiles and metalworking, and is one of the commercial and craft centers of Uttar Pradesh due to its multicultural fusion.
