The exhibition\u2019s opening ceremony on Saturday was attended by Abuzar Toghani, Iran\u2019s Cultural Attach\u00e9 in Kyrgyzstan, three Kyrgyz bloggers who had recently visited Iran, along with several diplomats from various countries and enthusiasts of Iranian culture, civilization, and art, ISNA reported.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the event, Toghani highlighted Iran\u2019s rich history, describing it as a cradle of culture and civilization spanning thousands of years. He noted that Iran\u2019s diverse seasons, historical, cultural, and natural attractions, and its 28 UNESCO World Heritage sites make it a popular destination for thousands of international tourists each year.<\/p>\n
Toghani explained that one of the key missions is to promote tourism and share Iranian-Islamic culture and heritage with the host society.
