KARACHI, NOV 17 (DMN) - Performing arts personalities envoys of a nation’s soft image. The
sharing of films, music and drama are the best means to project a country and
its culture.
The practitioners of performing
arts should have good personal ties with counter parts in other countries.

remarks at a dinner hosted by him exclusively for prominent showbiz
personalities in the city. Humayun Saeed, Farhan Agha, Maria Wasti, Erum Khan,

He said he was glad to see that
Pakistan’s showbiz industry was a vibrant one and Pakistani artistes should act
as brand ambassadors of their nation.
He said that Thailand and
Pakistan both possessed unique natural beauty and picturesque spots besides
tourism sites.
The showbiz industry of both
countries should explore these avenues and also go for joint productions which
would be mutually beneficial for both countries.
He added that the Thai
consulate in Karachi would always facilitate such efforts.
Humayun Saeed said the idea had
merit and should be explored.
Farhan Agha was of the opinion that Pakistani
dramas were second to none and need to be introduced to other countries of the
region.
