KABUL (Pajhwok): For the first in decades, the Nobel Prize banquet has been cancelled due the coronavirus outbreak, Reuters reported.
Organised by the Nobel Foundation on December 10 and drawing about 1,300 guests, the event will not go ahead this year.
Nobel Foundation Chairman Lars Heikensten was quoted as saying: "There are two problems. You cannot gather that many people next to each other. And it is uncertain whether people can travel to Sweden to the extent they want."
The banquet was last . . .
