He felicitated SCO for coming out with a novel idea of ‘My Land – My People’ which proved to be a platform for expression and a projection of talent of our aspiring youth, our natural beauty, cultures, tradition and history through art. He said, “I could see the vision and hope with which this initiative was established. I wish continued success to SCO in their endeavours to promote our youth and Pakistan’s soft image to the world”.
Photographs depicting landscape, folk heritage, traditional architecture, and people busy in the routine life were displayed in the exhibition. These colourful photographs are the scenes of real life from the far flung areas of AJ&K and GB.
