Doha: Qatar will take part in a three-day international conference on intangible cultural heritage, which is due to open in China’s Chengdu city on Friday.
The event is held by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (Unesco), in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture of China.
