The Embassy will donate a collection of Romanian literature, art, and history books to both the National Library of Pakistan and the National University of Modern Languages (NUML) in Islamabad, with the support of the Romanian Cultural Institute.

Organized in partnership with leading cultural and academic institutions, including the Romanian Cultural Institute, ILR, Pakistan-Romania Business Council, and Pakistan-Romania Friendship Association, the Romanian Culture Days will be an exciting introduction to the country’s culture for Pakistani people.
