According to the Chargé d’Affaires of the Malaysian Embassy, the Bazaar is supported by more than 50 socially responsible companies that will sell and promote their products and services at the event, as well as several Diplomatic Missions of the Asian countries. “We are planning to have a rich and diverse whole day cultural program comprised of traditional dance performances, local bands, demonstration of martial arts and traditional national costume fashion show. Special attention was paid to the entertainment for children” – Kamil announced. Previous Bazaars were held in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
