Malawakil Tashkent took part in the annual UN Day held at the Tashkent International School (TIS) on Saturday, 26th October 2013. More than 20 foreign diplomatic missions based in Tashkent, joined TIS students in celebrating the establishment of the United Nations which falls on 24th October every year.
All participating diplomatic missions were each allocated a room where they were invited to exhibit general information about their country in the form of maps, brochures, booklets, magazines, posters, video material and others.
Malawakil Tashkent displayed various posters depicting world famous landmarks in Malaysia such as PETRONAS Twin Towers and others. Tourism Malaysia’s video trailer entitled “Malaysia Truly Asia” was also screened to the visitors. To promote greater awareness of Malaysia among the visitors to the event, the Embassy also organized “Intellectual Quiz: Who knows Malaysia better?” with the winners being awarded with special prizes.
Living up to the reputation as a “gourmet paradise”, our Malaysian home-based staff also offered various Malaysian sweets and savouries to the visitors as well as distributed tourist brochures in conjunction with “Visit Malaysia Year 2014”.
Overall, the UN Day celebrations held at Tashkent International School offered a good opportunity to promote Malaysia as an active member of the international community, as a destination of choice for foreign tourists and as a center of educational excellence for those who want to get world class education at competitive rates.
