annual fair of Commonwealth Countries League (CCL), turned out to be a great
attraction for the visitors. The stalls showcased Pakistan’s cultural richness
and diversity through traditional handicrafts, clothes, souvenirs and exotic
cuisine. Pakistani cuisine, especially, the rice dish ‘Biryani’, with its
exquisite taste, aroma and presentation, was a culinary delight for the food
lovers, says a press release received from London here today.

the beautiful handicrafts made by the Pakistani women. Speaking on the
occasion, Begum High Commissioner said: “The CCL fair is an annual feature on

girls with education to bring about positive change in the society.”

Commissioner visited the Pakistani stalls and appreciated the efforts of the
ladies of the High Commission for actively promoting Pakistan’s culture and
traditional products through participation in international fairs. On this
