ISFAHAN, Oct. 26 (MNA) Director General of Isfahan Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department has said that the revival of the Silk Road by UNESCO is necessary for the promotion of tourism in Isfahan.
During the Silk Road Conference held on Saturday and attended by officials from Isfahan and South Korea, Fereydoun Allahyari, Director General of Isfahan Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Department said, the Silk Road, which connects China all the way to the Mediterranean Sea is a transmission route which has also established relations among the countries on its way.

The Silk Road can have a great impact on innovation and cultural relations among countries, he said, in the realm of religion, too, it used to be an important basis for cultural and religious interactions, in a way that Islam, Buddhism and Christianity were widely accepted and traveled to other countries.
