Audrey Azoulay, Director of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), revealed today, Friday, that the revival of the city of Mosul constitutes the largest operation led by UNESCO in the world in terms of scale and importance.
During her meeting today with the Iraqi Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani, at his residence in Paris, she praised the "distinguished" relations with Iraq because of the historical depth it represents, and welcomed Iraq's candidacy for the Executive Board of UNESCO, according to a statement of the Iraqi government.
Azoulay confirmed, "The organization is proceeding with the technical and vocational training project in Iraq."
For his part, Al-Sudani appreciated UNESCO's initiative to "revive the spirit of Mosul and reconstruct Al-Nuri Mosque, looking forward to cooperating with the organization to include more Iraqi sites on the World Heritage List, and to contribute to vocational training for workers and the development of the education sector."
And he renewed the Iraqi government's desire "to cooperate with the UN organization by establishing training and development programs for middle cadres, to implement small and medium projects, in a way that helps provide job opportunities for young people within the framework of the sustainable development plan and aspires for Iraq to have an important presence in the Executive Council of UNESCO."
The two sides called for consolidating joint cooperation between Iraq and UNESCO, and building partnerships to promote sustainable development in the sectors of culture, education and various fields of science.
