Pakistani students win first prize at international culture festival

Pakistani students won first prize at the 7th International Culture and Arts Festival of Sichuan
Agricultural University (SAU), held last week, as teams from 19 countries gathered to
showcase their cultures through exhibition booths and a traditional costume runway show.
The festival featured food stalls from around the world, with international students presenting
specialty dishes from their home countries, according to a report carried by Gwadar Pro on
Tuesday.
The Pakistani team prepared biryani, chana chaat, sweet kheer and Pakistani black tea,
drawing a steady crowd of students and faculty eager to sample the flavors.
The Pakistani students also wore traditional attire representing the country’s various regions
and communities, including Punjabi, Sindhi, Gilgit and Saraiki dress, a vivid display of
Pakistan’s ethnic and cultural diversity.
Kamran Javed, a Pakistani master’s student at SAU, said he was proud to represent his country
at the event and was enjoying studying in China.
“The response from Chinese students and international friends has been encouraging,” he
said. “Events like this help people understand Pakistan and strengthen people-to-people
exchanges.”
