Cyprus participated in the International Food and Beverage Exhibition FHC Shanghai 2023 and the International Wine and Spirits Exhibition PROWINE Shanghai 2023.

In a statement, the Ministry of Energy announced that, in collaboration with the Cyprus Trade Center in Beijing, Cyprus participated with a national pavilion at the exhibitions, which were organized at the same venue in Shanghai from November 8 to 10.
