The 20th session of the UNESCO Inter-governmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage is scheduled to be held at the Red Fort in New Delhi, a site that holds immense historical and cultural significance for India. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Red Fort serves not only as a symbol of India's architectural legacy but also as a backdrop that links the country’s tangible heritage with global efforts to preserve living cultural traditions. Hosting the session here highlights India’s growing leadership in cultural diplomacy, its commitment to heritage preservation, and its active involvement in promoting global cooperation through UNESCO’s cultural initiatives.
