Congratulations to the people of Iran on the global registration of the art of miniature as the 15th intangible world cultural heritage of the country, he said, wishing the country a happy future.
Noting that the art of miniature in Iran has a history of several thousand years and Iranians have long had a deep connection with the art and the artists, he said that miniature has depicted the joys, sorrows and different situations of the Iranian people throughout the history. Miniaturists enjoy a high and valuable status before the Iranian people.
