LAHORE: The UNESCO Reactive Monitoring Mission was officially launched at Qila Lahore on Monday, with the aim of reviewing ongoing conservation efforts and planning future activities in line with UNESCO heritage standards.
The delegation, including Cambon from Comoros, Nau Hayasi from the World Heritage Center and Jawad Aziz from UNESCO Pakistan, is visiting to take a closer look at the work done and the necessary steps for future conservation. The team was given an extensive tour by the Walled City of Lahore Authority and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which guided the delegation through several important sites within the Lahore Fort, including the Picture Wall, Royal Kitchen, Lahore Temple and the Summer Palace. These sites are part of a wider effort to preserve the historical and cultural significance of the Lahore Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Throughout the visit, the delegation will review the completed conservation works and planned activities, ensuring that they are in line with UNESCO standards for the preservation of the fort’s unique cultural heritage. The team’s goal is to ensure that these efforts will protect the site for future generations while maintaining its historical integrity, while also honoring the works of the Walled City and the Aga Khan.
