Paris: The Embassy of Pakistan in France organized an event focusing on the archeological studies of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, which dates back five thousand years.

According to Radio Pakistan, the gathering was attended by representatives from the UNESCO World Heritage Center, the Aga Khan Development Network, archaeologists, historians, diplomats, and the Director of the French Archaeological Mission of the Indus Basin, Dr. Aurore Didier. During the event, Dr. Didier presented an overview of the historical excavations conducted by French archaeologists in Pakistan.

Dr. Didier shared insights from a decade of research at Chanhu-daro, a notable site of the Indus Valley Civilization. She emphasized how the study of ancient populations' adaptations to environmental and river changes can provide valuable lessons for addressing current climate change and natural disaster challenges in South Asia.

Ambassador Mumtaz Zahra Baloch underscored the seventy years of archaeological cooperation between Pakistan and France. She praised the French Archaeological Mission's contributions to advancing research on the Indus Valley Civilization and enhancing local community and scholarly knowledge and skills.

Ambassador Baloch also expressed her appreciation for the "Cercle des Amis du Pakistan" and its efforts in promoting Pakistan's cultural heritage and diversity.
