All the participating teams joined a Flag March Past, followed by Army’s regimental troupes, representing all provinces of Pakistan including Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Jammun Kashmir, which presented traditional folk dances on the tune of famous regional songs and a spectacular demonstration by the Pakistan Army band, which won thunderous applauds from the audience.

The most impressive and heart-touching gesture was demonstrated by Chinese and Turkish soldiers who showed their sincere and lasting friendship with Pakistan BY holding their own and Pakistani flags during the March Past.

So total 17 countries are participating, why do we always forget counting our own selves??? :o:

Ofcourse we are in the exercise but might not be graded for the trophy in the end bcz judges are our own. Just a wild guess

Why Turkey is counted twice?

Overall good mix of east and west...i think egypt, iran, germany and france may also be invited in next games.
 
will paksitan be able to keep the trophy like India does with Kabudi world cup? :)
