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.
Mogilev is located in the Gomel region of southeastern Belarus, on the banks of the Dnieper River, and is an important river port and transportation hub in the region. Dating back to the 12th century, the city was a key trading point between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and has witnessed the historical changes in Eastern Europe. The economy is based on machine building, wood processing and food industry, with a solid industrial base. The city has preserved historical buildings such as the 18th-century Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a blend of Baroque and Classical styles that exudes a strong Eastern European cultural flavor. As a node on the main railroad line connecting Moscow and Kiev, Mozyry is both historically rich and economically vibrant in the region, making it an ideal gateway for exploring the history and natural beauty of southern Belarus.
