The French embassy organized two events to mark the 10th anniversary of archaeological excavations at Chanhu Daro in Sindh, coordinated by the MAFBI French Archaeological Mission in the Indus Basin. The gatherings recognised a decade of collaborative fieldwork and research that has become an important chapter in French-Pakistani scientific cooperation.
Participants reflected on the progress made at Chanhu Daro and the wider implications for understanding ancient settlements across the Indus Basin. Emphasis during the events was placed on sustaining joint research efforts and supporting the conservation of Sindh’s archaeological heritage.
For Pakistani researchers and heritage professionals, the milestone underscores the value of international partnerships in advancing archaeological knowledge and capacity building. The French embassy’s activities highlighted the mutual benefits of long-term collaboration and the continued role of MAFBI in coordinating excavations and scientific exchange.
The 10-year commemoration at Chanhu Daro signals ongoing commitment to careful study and preservation of the site, reinforcing ties that contribute to both local heritage stewardship and broader academic inquiry into the Indus Basin’s past.
