“On March 7 the UNWG enjoyed a memorable Coffee Morning hosted by Mrs. Komila Lapasova, spouse of the Permanent Representative of Uzbekistan to the United Nations, of which the theme was “A TRIP TO IKAT UZBEK”. Members were invited to discover Uzbekistan’s rich history, culture, fabrics, and cuisine. That Uzbek ikat is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list confirms the uniqueness of the art of Ikat.
Much to the delight of Guild members, they were able to try on the garments on display; and discover a wide variety of impressive Uzbekistani specialties that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

We were also honored with the presence of H.E Mr. Ulugbek Lapasov, Permanent representative of Uzbekistan to the UN, who congratulated members on the occasion of the International Women’s day.

Moreover we had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Robert F. Blum, President and Founder of The Diplomatic Club of Geneva and author of the book “L’Ouzbekistan, Perle de L’Asie Centrale”, it was the first presentation of Mr Blum’s new book of which participants of the Coffee Morning received a signed copy.

Our heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Komila Lapasova, for this unforgettable journey to Uzbekistan”.

This enriching February Coffee Morning was hosted by the Permanent Mission of India. Mrs. Sushma Pandey, spouse of the Permanent Representative of India to the UN, presented the theme ‘Indian film Industry Bollywood‘s Romance with the Swiss Alps’. Did you know that many blockbuster romantic movies are filmed in Switzerland, where Indian filmmakers capture the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps and snowy landscapes as a backdrop? Through this cinematic exposure, Bollywood helped boost Switzerland’s popularity among Indian tourists as a travel and honeymoon destination.
Thank you Sushma, for brightening our Coffee Morning with Indian cinema, song, music and delicious food. The presentation ended with dance performances which left the audience clapping and wanting more, bringing us a ray of sunshine from Bollywood.
