Special Communications Organization (SCO) in collaboration with the Pakistan National Council of Arts held a photography exhibition today. The exhibition featured top 100 photographs under the theme of ‘My Land – My People’ capturing the beautiful North Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan (AJ&K & GB). The photographs were selected from a pool of over 2000 photographs received by SCO from all over the country.

The event was inaugurated by President of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi as Chief Guest.
He felicitated SCO for coming out with a novel idea of ‘My Land – My People’ which proved to be a platform for expression and a projection of talent of our aspiring youth, our natural beauty, cultures, tradition and history through art. He said, “I could see the vision and hope with which this initiative was established. I wish continued success to SCO in their endeavours to promote our youth and Pakistan’s soft image to the world”.
