Doha: Two Indian origin sisters based in Australia is planning to set a world record by singing the world’s 195 national and UN permanent member state anthems in 100 languages, including Qatar’s national anthem.

Siblings Teresa Joy and Augnes Joy will attempt the record at the St John’s Cathedral in Brisbane in Australia on September 21 as part of Cathedral’s International Day of Peace celebrations in approximately six hours, with a 10-minute break permitted every two hours.

“Eight years ago, we started learning the anthems of the 193 countries and two permanent observer states recognised by the United Nations in more than 100 languages,” the siblings told a local website.
