The first “Hunarmand” exhibition and your performance have been outstanding, and we will organize an even bigger and more magnificent exhibition in the future, said Khalil Ahmad Bajwa, Consul General of Pakistan in Toronto.

Toronto Canada : I extend my congratulations to Solmaz Regi and Adnan Haider, the co-founders of Identity Pakistan, for the successful event of the first “Hunarmand” exhibition and their excellent work. These thoughts were expressed by Khalil Ahmad Bajwa, Consul General of Pakistan in Toronto, while inaugurating the first “Hunarmand” exhibition held by Identity Pakistan at the Consulate General of Pakistan in Toronto on the occasion of the Eid festival. He said, “I am very pleased that people from Pakistan have organized this Eid festival at the Pakistan Consulate in Toronto, showcasing beautiful handmade cultural items and crafts.” Trade Commissioner Altamash Janjua also congratulated Solmaz Regi and Adnan Haider, co-founders of Identity Pakistan, for organizing the “Hunarmand” exhibition and appreciated their efforts. Solmaz Regi, founder of Identity Pakistan, said, “Through Identity Pakistan, we aim to bring Pakistani cultural craftsmanship to the global stage—especially the work of individuals who cannot travel internationally themselves and belong to the middle class. By exhibiting handcrafted items such as puppets, leatherwork, embroidered clothing, and other artisan-made products, we aim to give prominence to the heritage of Pakistani arts and crafts.” The first “Hunarmand” exhibition was held today at the Consulate General of Pakistan in Toronto, and such events will continue in the future. On this occasion, founders Solmaz Regi and Adnan Haider also presented a documentary film on Pakistani arts and crafts. A large number of Pakistanis residing in Canada attended and participated in the exhibition.
