Khattab: Positive results after tour of UNESCO board states

PARIS- 14 September 2017: Candidate of Egypt and AU for the UNESCO director-general post Moshira Khattab said the outcome of a recent tour that took her to the member states of UNESCO Executive Board were very positive.

The Foreign Ministry is currently assessing the situation for the coming UNESCO elections, Khattab told MENA on the sidelines of her visit to Paris.

Many countries prefer not to explicitly speak out about their positions and stances waiting for the last-minute developments, she said.

She also referred to the good impact of her hearing session before the UNESCO Executive Board in April.
