KARACHI:


The Swiss consul general inaugurated the first-of-its-kind ‘Pakistan Switzerland Friendship Exhibition’ at the Jinnah International Airport here.


The Swiss consulate is organising this event for a period of 100 days inside the airport in collaboration with the Swiss Business Council as co-organisers, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as venue partners and Badar Expo Solutions as event managers.


During the exhibition, a life-size model of Swiss cow painted by a team of Phool Patti in traditional Pakistani truck art is also being put on display which will be used as a guest book. The cow will later be auctioned for charity at the end of three months.

“This exhibition will be beneficial for the sponsors, the image of Karachi airport, and in particular for Pakistan and Switzerland,” said Swiss Consul General Emil Wyss on the occasion.
