What made it Mega-Event?
His Excellency, Mr. Alexey Y. Dedov, Russian Ambassador to Pakistan was the chief guest of the event, along with the ambassador of Belarus, COMSATS Institute dignitaries, and other officials were also present.

Who attended?
Students, government officials, media, and a considerable number of foreigners flocked to the event and turned it into a successful event. The artwork was a treat to watch as around 30 paintings were displayed. Let's have a view of some of his distinguished artwork:
