SAARC Cultural Center organised SAARC Handicraft and Exhibition and Workshop at Patan Durbar Square, from September 9 to September 12.
During the inaugural event, minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Yogesh Bhattarai said that events like the expo would be crucial for providing exposure to local products. “Such expos help to not only showcase the products but also share indigenous skills to participants from other countries," he said.
The expo also witnessed participants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Handicrafts made in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka were showcased in the expo, according to the organiser. “Traditional and modern handicrafts are such properties that keep reminding the people about the rich culture of SAARC countries,” said secretary general of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Amjad Hussain B Sial, on the occasion.
“The exhibition brought together artisans from across the region to showcase their handicrafts under one roof, and to share their knowledge and skills locally and also internationally,” reads a press note issued by the SAARC Cultural Center.
