(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt) Former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Khaled El-Enany, a candidate for the position of UNESCO Director-General, has outlined his plans for leading the organisation, emphasising Egypt's rich history and diverse heritage as key assets.

“Egypt, with its ancient history and civilization, diversified across all fields of science, and the vast experience of its leading figures, makes it capable of leading the UNESCO,” said El-Enany.

“I am optimistic about winning this important international position, especially with the strong support I have received from the Egyptian government and sisterly nations.”

El-Enany shared his plans and ideas for addressing the challenges facing UNESCO during a meeting with members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Cairo and the American Research Center in Egypt.

He expressed his confidence in securing the prestigious position, citing strong support from both the Egyptian government and neighbouring countries.
