ISLAMABAD (DNA) : The Danish Embassy on Saturday hosted its first ever mega cultural event titled ‘Creative Denmark’ for its partners and network in Pakistan.  The event was attended by a large crowd consisting of several hundred people.

The aim of the event was to create a better understanding of Denmark and the Danes, its culture, and of Denmark’s many activities in Pakistan. The Ambassador of Denmark, Mr. Jesper Moller Sorensen, said that it had been a great day: “Culture is a bond that makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better, it is easier to overcome the personal, economic and political barriers. I am convinced that creative activities and culture help promote peace and harmony.

“Creative Denmark” is also about communicating, sharing and understanding each other’s values and perspectives with respect. With “Creative Denmark” we have shown who we are and what we stand for. We have listened to some great music played by the Danish-Pakistani fusion band, “Rocqawali”. Danish chefs have come from Denmark to prepare some delicious food for our guests. We have also introduced our partners to some of our activities here in Pakistan within trade and development”.
