In his speech, Amu underscored the need for proper patronzation to protect Jamdani, which is on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
It represents the classical status of Bangladesh in the global market. So this type of exhibition should be organized in the big cities outside Dhaka, too, he said.
