Changed from "subject" to "discussion" to remove a needless distraction from the substance of the question.

Jul 27, 2016 at 14:08 comment added mazen26 thanks for your reply. To make it clear and avoid confusion, let me give more clear examples: can we rephrase "history teacher" to "teacher of history" ? can we rephrase “England football team coach” to “coach of England football team” ? thanks

Jul 27, 2016 at 12:52 comment added MorganFR I don't think your first sentence is correct. I would use a possessive: "The subject was about a supplier's local content development." In that case, it is obvious that the proposed transformation is correct: e.g. "John's son" to "the son of John."
