Princess Basma bint Talal of Jordan views Azerbaijan`s stand at Diplomatic Bazaar
Princess Basma bint Talal of Jordan has viewed Azerbaijan`s stand at the annual Diplomatic Bazaar in Amman.
She greeted employees of Azerbaijan’s Embassy, diaspora activists and children. The stand featured samples of national arts, souvenirs, handiwork, as well as books about Azerbaijan.
One of the symbols of Azerbaijan`s culture, Kalagayi (kerchiefs) drew the visitors' attention with its national ornaments and elegancy.
Azerbaijani Ambassador Sabir Aghabayov presented the Princess with national souvenirs and a Kalagayi. He thanked the Princess for her attention to Azerbaijan`s stand.
The Diplomatic Bazaar is a purely volunteer effort, by members of the diplomatic corps who bring their local products and national cuisine and sell them in support of the boys of the Mabarrat.
This unique annual event, which brings the international community together into one venue has become a much anticipated occasion in the social calendar of Amman and its international community.
Thousands of people attend the bazaar each year to enjoy the colourful display of people from different nations, taste foreign cuisines and acquire items from around the world.
