Mr. Hassan said, Halal Expo Australia is an event which promotes food permitted under the Halal norms, Halal products & services and businesses. He said that this was sought to be achieved by bringing together under one roof, halal suppliers and manufacturers of Halal consumable products, and providers of Halal services in various fields, such as Islamic Finance, Banking, Investments, Superannuation, Pharmaceuticals, Tourism and so on. Explaining the format of the Halal Expo Mr. Hassan said that, Halal Expo is a festival-style an open family event providing fun and frolic for all the members of the family and has a variety of Halal food stalls of different Islamic ethnic restaurants, manufactures and retail suppliers of Halal products, Islamic entertainment segments, an amusement park with, rides, animal show, horse & camel rides, innovative games, sports competitions, fireworks and much more.
Answering to a question Mr. Hassan said that it is worth mentioning here that the organisation is not a part of any religious or political party or group; moreover, it is neither an agency with Halal certification nor is it an Islamic organisation. It is an independent organisation whose main goal is to organise different multicultural events which hold the interest of the people and promote friendship and harmony between people of all communities.
