The Christmas bazaar is set up every year at the consulate

KARACHI: A traditional German Christmas bazaar was organised at the German Consulate on Sunday. Festive stalls selling Christmas items and food were set up to collect funds for the underprivileged.

This Christmas bazaar is set up every year at the consulate. More than 50 stalls sold Christmas-themed items such as souvenirs, candles, Santa Claus dresses and sweets. Handicrafts, including traditional Sindhi crafts, were also on display. The bazaar also featured a Christmas tree.



Locals and tourists alike visited the stalls. MNA Dr Nafisa Shah, German Deputy Consulate-General Birgit Kuhlmann and consul-generals of Russia, Japan, Britain and United States of America were also present on the occasion.



Kuhlman, while welcoming the guests, said that the Christmas bazaar is organised at the German Consulate every year with many people participating in it. It aims to promote German culture and to benefit the underprivileged.



Guests expressed their interest in the decorated stalls and purchased with enthusiasm. The stall owners donated the funds collected from the sales to welfare organisations to help the underprivileged.



Japanese Counsul-General Toshikazu Isomura expressed his appreciation at the philanthropic effort. He said that such measures strengthen ties between countries and allow them to explore each other's cultures.
