Syria is taking part in the student competition exhibition which kicked off Wednesday in the Slovak capital, Bratislava, with the participation of student delegations from 25 countries from around the world organized by the Slovak Economics University.

The Syrian pavilion showcases a set of Syrian traditional handicrafts and large wall posters to introduce the rich history and ancient civilization of Syria.
