HAVANA, Cuba, Dec 7 (acn) India´s ambassador to Cuba Tsewang Namgyal attended the opening of his country´s stand at the 2015 International Handicraft Fair (FIART by its Spanish acronym) underway in the Havana´s Pabexbo fairgrounds, till December 20.
Ambassador Namgyal said this Fair was an excellent opportunity to boost the cultural exchange between the two nations, and added the pieces displayed in the Indian stand show the richness and diversity of his country.
Each state´s handicraft reflects the history of India, its culture and traditions, marked by religion and history through the different ages India has lived.
The representative of the Indian Council for International Cooperation Gopal Arora, who leads a delegation made up of 10 handicraftsmen, told Cuban news agency he defends the concept of the world as a family.
Based on this concept, he tries to boost people to people relations through art and culture. This sample, he said, includes typical handicrafts from the northern region of Kashmir to the southern Kerala.
I know Cubans will appreciate this sample because art is the best way to interact and unite, he said.
The Cuban public and visitors will see pieces representing popular art throughout India which include clothing, jewelry, handicrafts made of wood, metal, stone or terracotta.
