Mohamad Ali Vadood , presenting the plan to establish the “Federation of National Arts” and “National Teams of Traditional Arts”, emphasized the strategic importance of this plan in overcoming the current problems of the traditional arts community and creating the country’s international prestige.
He added that many independent disciplines of traditional arts and handicrafts have the ability to be standardized in terms of technique and construction geometry, and by creating logical protocols and a platform for competition in creativity, it is possible to achieve improved and luxurious products that will be welcomed in international marketing.
Vadood considered the creation of rankings and introduction of top activists to be the cause of the coherence and purposefulness of activities in the field of traditional arts and handicrafts, and emphasized its importance.
He also added that the creation of a permanent annual competition platform at the national level could lead to the creation of national traditional arts teams, whose presence in extensive global competitions would introduce and establish the position of Iranian traditional crafts and arts in the international arena, and would bring a cheap strategy for extensive global marketing.
He added that the creation of Federation of National Arts centered and led by Iran has the capacity to attract the attention and join countries in the region with common cultural roots, in which case our country could be the founder and creator of a global confederation of national arts and bring this achievement to human civilization.
Mohamad Ali Vadood emphasized the financial turnover and presentation of various aspects of this project, as well as its impact on creating "soft power" and advancing international goals, and called it the first driver of the country's economy and art diplomacy.
