513 smuggled artefacts repatriated from US

Pakistan has successfully repatriated 513 smuggled archaeological artifacts, mostly Gandhara relics, from the United States as part of a bilateral cooperation effort. This move addresses UNESCO's concerns over the conservation of Taxila and marks a significant step in cultural preservation. The Senate Standing Committee on National Heritage and Culture emphasized the importance of this return, signaling a stronger stance against cultural smuggling rackets. This repatriation not only restores cultural heritage but also strengthens international cooperation in protecting shared historical treasures.
