  "summary": "Pakistan has requested UNESCO to include two heritage sites, Rani Ghat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Port of Banbhore in Sindh, in the World Heritage List. This request was made during a meeting between UNESCO Representative Fuad Pashayev and Federal Minister for National Heritage and Culture Aurangzeb Khan Khichi. The sites are currently on Pakistan's Tentative List, which includes 37 properties. Additionally, the minister has sought assistance in adding four traditional Pakistani foods and culinary traditions to the Intangible Cultural Heritage framework. These include Makai Roti and Saag, Balochi Sajji, Sindhi Biryani, and Chapli Kebab. The minister also announced plans to expand Gandhara exhibitions overseas and establish dedicated 'Gandhara Corners' to showcase Pakistan's Buddhist heritage.",
