Hosted Lunch, Presentation, and Bazaar for the Ikebana International Saitama Office Members.

April 23, 2019: It was a pleasure for H.E. Ambassador Dr. Bashir Mohabbat to host a Luncheon, presentation, and Afghan goods bazaar members of Ikebana International’s Saitama Office at the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in Tokyo, Japan.

The guests were greeted with welcoming remarks by H.E. Ambassador Dr. Mohabbat who had prepared a special afternoon for them. Further, they were given a delightful and informative presentation on Afghanistan’s culture, history, natural resources, and progress by H.E. Dr. Mohabbat.

Following their presentation on Afghanistan, the guests were treated to a special lunch of various Afghan traditional foods carefully prepared by the embassy in honor of the occasion.

At the completion of the meal and entertainment, the guests were invited to peruse a small bazaar set-up with booths in which local Afghan businesses in Japan displayed Afghan craft and art items such as rugs, scarves, Afghan traditional clothing, Afghanistan sourced precious stone jewelry items, award winning Afghan saffron, and dried Afghan fruits and nuts for them to view, and inquire further about. All those present had an enjoyable time and remarked at how impressed they were with their new introduction to the wonders of Afghanistan.
