(en.expo2010.cn)
Updated: 2009-06-30 09:50 The Pakistan Pavilion, which will face the Chinese Pavilion, will create a replica of the Lahore Fort, an iconic symbol of the city of Lahore at the 2010 Expo.
The fort which dates back to the year 1025AD is the cultural capital and heart of modern-day Pakistan. It was given its current design in 1566AD. The building is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Pakistan started building its 2,000-square-meter pavilion today, marking this with a ground-breaking ceremony at the Expo site. Themed "harmony in diversity," various aspects of the best of Pakistan's cities will be merged into one showcase of culture, tradition, modernity and history.
Traditional Pakistani dances will be performed and a traditional Pakistani restaurant will serve the unique tastes of Pakistani cuisine with BBQ foods, unique sauces and "Chai," a special local milk tea. Masood Khan, ambassador of Pakistan to China as well as the commissioner general for Pakistan for Expo 2010, said at the ceremony that the country hoped to display its strength and practice in building a harmonious city. He believed Expo 2010 will provide a stimulus package for the world economy.
A special section in the pavilion will be dedicated to the fraternal relationship and strong bonds between the people of Pakistan and China. |
