Alexander Alimov, Director of Department for Multilateral Humanitarian Cooperation and Cultural Relations at the Russian Foreign Ministry and Executive Secretary of the Russian Commission for UNESCO, said on Sunday that Russia hopes to see Egyptian candidate Khaled El-Anany assume the role of UNESCO Director-General in 2025.
According to Russia's Sputnik News Agency, Alimov stated: 'We certainly expect the new Director-General to be Egypt's candidate.'
He also stressed that, with the upcoming leadership change, Russia hopes UNESCO's Secretariat will 'return to neutral and unbiased work.'
A new Director-General will be elected in the fall of 2025 during UNESCO's General Conference, succeeding French incumbent Audrey Azoulay.
The list of candidates includes former Egyptian Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled El-Anany, current UNESCO Deputy Director-General and Mexico's representative Gabriela Ramos, as well as former UNESCO Deputy Director-General (2016–2025) and representative of the Republic of Congo, Firmin Edouard Matoko.
