- Bangladesh’s Tangail saree weaving craft was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list during the 20th Committee session.
- The recognition highlights the two-century-old weaving tradition of the Tangail district, known for its fine handloom work.
- India had earlier given a GI tag to the “Tangail Saree of Bengal” in 2024, citing long-term production by migrant weavers in West Bengal.
- Bangladesh stated that the UNESCO recognition and India’s GI tag do not conflict, as both countries are parties to the international convention.
