“Let’s establish UNESCO Egypt,” said Ambassador Moushira Khattab, Egypt's candidate for the position of director general of UNESCO, after losing the runoff against French candidate Audrey Azoulay, 31 to 25 votes, on Oct. 13.
Khattab reiterated her call to establish UNESCO Egypt during an interview with Hamdi Rizk on his show "Al-Nazra" on Sada al-Balad on Oct. 19. “Egypt’s battle at UNESCO is far from over. This is why I call on establishing UNESCO Egypt, as we have some of the finest authors, intellectuals and artists,” she said, noting that this is also a call to restore peace, freedom, justice and mercy in Egypt.
