These routes connected Asia with the Mediterranean countries, as well as Africa and Europe. They served as crucial meeting points between traders, merchants, pilgrims and soldiers, as well as common travelers, and enabled the exchange of goods, culture and technology. These paths extended more than 4,000 miles.

Afghanistan has been able to recover hundreds of ancient artifacts, despite their fears that the relics have long since been stolen or destroyed over the years. These artifacts present most beautifully the ancient Afghani culture. Hamed Wardak, with the help of many others, has enabled these artifacts to be admired and studied around the world, by supporting the exhibition’s tour through the United States.

World Refugee Day will enable refugees to find new homes and new futures by helping them to resettle, repatriate and integrate back into society.

Hamed Wardak explained, “The work and support provided by UNHCR is essential to refugees in Afghanistan and worldwide. I continue to sponsor UNHCR’s events like World Refugee Day and get involved in their work because the refugee women, who are the most disadvantaged group in Afghanistan, need our help.”
