More than 30 embassies and international organizations and representative from different Tajik regions presented their cuisine and crafts in the event.

The SCO set up a stand and table with traditional Swiss pies and drinks prepared by Swiss pastry-cook Ursula Nyfeler. The Swiss corner attracted many people of all ages.

 “When I hear about the  Swiss cuisine I always think about cheese and chocolates”- said Zarafshon, a Tajik woman who came to the festival  with her children -“It was interesting to see different pies here, my son liked the one with walnuts, so I took the recipe and will try to make it at home” she said. 

The SCO took this opportunity to display the information stand with visibility materials for the more than 3000 visitors of the event.
